   They are oil filled yes. I was getting quotes of £50-£70 from motor spares places. best to get it from Citroen so a few quid more maybe.

   I did this on mine the other day. I had a mount which was taken off a late vtr. The iron mount itself had 3 holes in it, whereas my current vts one was held down with 4 bolts. So the mounting point itself is different. But the actual engine mount can be taken off the iron mount and is interchangeable onto the VTS mount. Hope that makes sense.
   Few pics here

   Just make sure there is no movement in the shaft on the one you get.
   You can see the amount of play in the pic I took of my old one. Not good
