Yep correct.
That is the same as mine.
So with this mount, I'm not actually sure if there is a pu bush that will fit. The quare one that I bought as I experienced got sliced up by the steel connecting arm.

Just swapped my top mount back to an original rubber type.
This is the state of my PU type I just removed.
With the top mount off my engine rocks back anf fourth about 12mm when switching box between drive and reverse. How much should it rock assuming your lower mounts are good?

Volvo independent quoted me £315 labour and parts for front and rear lower rubber conical mounts.
I just bought the mounts for £75, but now I can’t find a garage capable of fitting them!
Left it at another place today who quoted 2.5hrs, just got a call off them saying the job is impossible.
Think I’ll give up with this job and let the engine just rock away!

Well, they either have enough work on and can afford to turn customers away or they are complete spanner monkeys.

A quick look in Haynes says it is a three spanner job, i.e. suitable for a competent DIY mechanic.
