My rear engine mount is looking a bit tired 
Are the Baker mounts liveable with on a road car?

I just fitted one at the weekend as the existing standard one on my 6 was useless! I was starting to hate driving the car due to the amount of movement in the engine...The car is transformed now, it's so much nicer to drive, gearchanges are much smoother both up and down the box. It does add a noticeable amount of vibration and noise but this is only a problem on initial startup and when you're manoeuvring at low speed, the dash buzzes a bit etc but for me I can live with it. The only thing I did was add some padded tape to the inner surface of the glovebox to stop it vibrating on the latch. I recommend it completely, it's an easy change especially if you press the BBM mount into a spare engine mount and swap the whole lot out, 2 hour job maximum... ________________________________________ Please don't let the cambelt snap... |

an alternative is Miles Group N type mounts, got engine / GB ones fitted to mine, and he can press mounts in for a deposit and they send the old one back if its easier (although i never remembered to send my old one back and is still in the boot  )________________________________________ Ex-Black 6  - Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary...

I'm fairly sure that Stew and Miles' bushes are the same ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

They vibrate the dash a fair bit, but I think how bad/where it vibrates is down to how old the car is etc as both me and Mat have them and our dashs vibrate in different places.________________________________________ Ecosse Dyno Day 31/10/09175.2Bhp & 149lb/ft  |
