I hate my fu*king car at the mo!!!
Well i thought i would take the car out for a spin today so went round my mates to take him out for a spin and as soon as i turned up it sprouted a
leak 
Lucky the is rebuilding a bike at the mo as we managed to find a bit of hose that would do the job 
So took him out for a spin and he loved it
So i thought the day was going to be good
But NO
I got home and heard a funny clunking noise as though the exhaust had fallen off but no.
So i took the bonet off and look what i found

I would change both though. The engine has pulled to the side and might have damaged the other side as well.

What is that mount off? I cannot imagine a landrover one doing that, it may be worth looking to see if a landy one will fit - solid as a rock!
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Dont feel so bad about the engine mount breaking......my friend has a caterham and he told me he found the creaking noise thats been doing his head
in......the mount had totally sheared off and the zetec was hanging in on two mounts.........
We jacked up the engine removed mount then welded the broken brazed joint.
So its not only the locosts that get problems ....cats get a fairshare of mishaps as well.
Fuel pump went next about two weeks ago then last night was a brick in the road that holed the sump on a test run...just after changing the oil and
sump gaskets.......
