£40-odd each, need these myself. Diesel mounts aren't worth bothering with in my book.

Diesel ones are crap, ripped a set clean in half in two weeks.

Use the vibratechnics.

I've got vibra-technic ones fitted, they made a massive difference! Did a before and after run on the rollers and the engine had alot less movement. Gear chnages feel tighter as well.

Bought mine direct from http://www.vibra-technics.co.uk/
