Fitted a left outer parking sensor as well.

While i had the wheel off the lower engine mount is looking a bit sorry and needs doing, is this a driveway job for someone reasonably competent?? Also is there a bush at the front end of the little arms? Who is good for aftermarket? Lemforder?
Are you talking about the mount that’s near the oil sump/oil cooler, underneath the car? It has a metal arm/brace around it?

If so, it can be done at home. The bush comes on its own. You reuse the arm.

I went genuine. There wasn’t much difference in price at the time. If you do go down the aftermarket route, then Lemforder, Febi Bilstein or Corteco are good.

I don’t know how to upload photo’s here? I have pictures of the mount on my phone.
