Hi all, just a quick one,
noticed my top mount was all split while under the bonnet, are these hard to replace?
or poss. thinking of a poly one, can anyone advise where to get them from, and fitting please.
thanks in advance , oh its a 2.0t by the way.

you'll be wanting the uprated Volvo item - whch cannot split.
Powerflex do them, but i fitted one to my P2 D5 & it was unbearble. Went & bought a Volvo the next day because the dash was vibrating that much, might of been because of the diesel lump but i'd still to a Volvo one. You'll need to replace the metal bracket as well because they've now gone to a square bushQuote:

As for fitting Poly top mounts....that was brave! I would have said it was harsh to say the least, still, nothing ventured and all that. The parts that must be replaced to ensure correct self centering of the steering and no knocking from the front shocks are: Front support plate (bit with the bearing) and the Spring seat (rubber bit).
The difference these parts make when fitted can only be believed when driving the car. Its awesome!!
