then whilst holding it forward tighten the 4 16mm bolts back up nice and tight,

try this as it will only take 2 mins and could solve half the problems for you guys

As Ben says this is worth a try. Loosen the bolts on the drivers side mount pull the engine forward with the mount plate and re-tighten. It should have the gap show in the pic at the front of the mount, not the back (arrowed)if that makes sense.
