Awd lower front engine mount - 98 r

Good afternoon chaps

Trying to urgently source offside lower engine mount ( pref both ) with no success so far. If anybody is able to assist by advising if somebody/ somewhere has them in stock I would be much obliged to hear !!!

Not been a good few days ; it is bad enough with C19 but after 11 months finally made the time to get tools and kit together to change timing belt. Some Tick Turd has knocked out the cam timing marks and replaced with a pair one of which cannot be right !!!

Whenever I've done the timing belt on these or the T6 engines I have marked the teeth on the old cam belt with corresponding marks on the cam pulleys and crank (tippex). I then transfer the marks from the old belt to the new belt and use it to align the new belt on the pulleys. The timing marks are then just confirmation that all is well (along with turning the engine through a full cycle to ensure the valves/pistons don't touch and the marks line up again). I've done this several times on 2.5, T5, R, T6 and D5. Rob

Thanks Rob

My girl was running rough anyway so rather than attempt the task and having to do it again cos the timing was out I took her to a local Indy in Wickford. They were able to find the marks and had the Volvo tool to do it from the back of the cams if they were not visible so for £130 felt I could not lose, got other bits done in the price as well
