Has anyone else "modified" their mounts with polyurethane sealant? To protect my new (weaker than standard) top gearbox mount I have not only fitted the 19 16v lower mount , but also pumped all the gaps in all the bushes full of poly sealant. Even the uprated dog-bone mount from Hillpower seems about 10 times as stiff as it did before.

Refited the engine into the car and it feels unbelieveably stiff. Cant wait to get everything connected up and see how it feels on the road this weekend. :D

Some one was going to do this and report back. Looks like you beat them to it.

I only really did it as I had already broken 3 of the aluminium top gearbox mounts on the original box and the new Kangoo box has an even more feeble aluminium mount than the Willy.

Does anyone want a 4 month old aluminium mount for a Willy/16v box? Covered less than 1000 miles.
