Engine Mounts

I know they are out of sight but if you ever need any convincing to change your engine mounts ..take a look at this

2002 M54 113000 miles ….totally knackered. Also 9mm shorter (compressed) than the new ones that went in….and no they don’t usually come in 2 parts

Is it a difficult job?

Not if you have a ramp..4 bolts and you should also take the viscous fan and shroud off. I supplied the parts and my local garage did it. Was about an hours labour.

You need an engine hoist as well correct?

I think a good floor jack should work, if used with care off course.

Yeah you only need to tilt the engine a bit which can be done with a floor jack. Loosen bolts both sides to allow movement and you need to remove the viscous fan and shroud too.
