Maybe 15mins work.

Thanks!
Armed with more youtube and google research I just checked it again
The strut bar can be rotated a bit (10 to 15 degrees?) but does not move fore and aft nor sideways.
The play in the top mount is related to rotational twisting of the top bar, which is translating to a vertical <5mm play in the rubber bush, not fore and aft play.
There's a bit of sideways play but the rubber bush looks in OK condition (inspection without having dismantled anything)
Is the rotational twisting play normal?
The cars done 105000kms and is 7.5 years old, which is about 14000kms a year, or 8700 miles a year. Always been garaged, always been serviced.
