i think the one your after if £34 or similar from GSF/andyspares, might be wrong,

 

[Tonys]

The one near the alternator next to the power steering tank is a renault only part for the 16v.

Yeah reno only for that one its £68 + VAT from dealer, as I got one a couple of months ago. Any valver thats aint had mounts in the last 10k feels like it needs new ones. I have been bitching about them before as personnally i think they are sh*t, but then again I have a phobia about worn mounts, thay always bugger your exhaust in the end, and it is the most annoying thing when out for a thrash

[wongy008]

well the only reason im asking

is one the dog bone mount is awfully close to the zorst and the down pipe is knocking on the driveshaft a little,not good really

think ill get it done

A wee trick, that might work although I never did it myself so not sure exactely how much difference it makes. Originally the threaded end of the bolt on the dogbone sticks out towards the exhaust and often knockes against it, especially with if the mounts are tired. Think it might be best to reverse the bolt so the head of bolt is on exhaust side, might prevent hassle in the future. Exhaust hitting driveshaft is common, mine does it occasionally, even after new mounts, it is a good idea to put new rubber mounts on exhaust, as it helped mine no end.
