   Noticed this today, when i pull on this mount as in the pic theres a slight tear as can be seen in the pic:
   
   
   
   Will this be causing problems and should I get it replaced?
   
   Cheers

   doesnt 'need' replaced right no, but it will possibly be causing unneeded movement in the engine, whack an uprated set in there

   Ah fair enough, how much are uprated ones and will they make the car vibrate like an Ann Summers party lol?

   The standard mount is rubbish full stop! Get a nice little powerflex one. Not too bad for everyday use and will solve your issue £25 last time I looked!

   the powerflex one comes in 2 parts and you just push them in each side and push a metal tube piece through the centre, doesnt need to be pressed. does make the dash vibrate slightly but it seems to subside after its been fitted a while

   Easy to fit yes, once bedded in I couldn't even tell mine was there most of the time tbh!

   Once you fit a powerflex one you'll know if your other two (particular the top one ecu side) need replacing. Cos it'll vibrate like a mofo!
   
   There's some pics in my progress thread of fitting one that may be of some use.
