I think you are right - both of the old rubber mounts were much softer than they should have been - maybe oil contamination, maybe just 40 years of vibration? I'm pleased I got all three changed though, the Royal Barge is much better now.

Hmmm, bit of an oxymoron there Alan - to be a reporter you have to be at least semi-literate.That immediately over-qualifies 90% of journalists for working on The Sun.

If i was pushed to offer a reason for the state of those engine mounts, i'd say the primary cause was oil contamination aided and abetted by the vibration plus the degradation and perishing of age.
