TomsFocus Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Yes it's common. Same mount was used on the Mk2's as well, had to change mine in 2016. They are as easy to change as they look. Just take care with the nuts on the engine side. They can unwind the studs a bit...if that's not noticed it can lead the engine mount snapping and dumping your engine on the floor at a later date. Have seen it happen a few times on here over the years, usually by oblivious garages just whipping them out with air tools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're Nylocs, designed to be stiff so that vibration doesn't shake them loose. Just watch the studs as you undo the nuts, if they start to move, counterhold them with a small female Torx bit or even just pliers. When the new mount is fitted, double check the height of all the studs above the nuts against your original picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've got some Loctite, that would be a good idea to use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanfp Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 A very well known make (though that in itself doesn't mean they're good!). They've been around for ages and their shock absorbers are used a lot in motorsport. But it's always worth checking Ford themselves IMHO. Sometimes their prices are not really any dearer, but you never know until you ask them. My last Ford Wiper Blades were as cheap as a set of Bosch from ECP. But a new boot switch was £65 compared to £12 for a non-Ford part (which is currently still working OK). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Yeah Febi should be fine. They're about £60 so £30 for half hours labour sounds reasonable. Can't find the genuine 1.5 mount on eBay but Ford must be making a decent mark up on this 1.8 mount... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibbo1471 Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 How about this I could do it myself that's all https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403395550950?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=gBTEse_2Q26&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=uZ4nOMgeRQi&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Not sure that's the right one. Part number should be 1872079 I think. There are a few aftermarkets with that number on eBay at £40 or less. I don't believe they will be the same quality as OEM. Which is why I went OEM myself. I'm really sensitive to vibration though, most people probably won't notice much difference. If going aftermarket would definitely make sure it comes with a warranty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F0CUE Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 As they say you get what you pay for so the cheapest may not last as long so choose what you can afford from the list really https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=1872079&_sacat=0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibbo1471 Posted September 21, 2022 Author Share Posted September 21, 2022 Thank you for all the help do you know if there is another mounting similar to this on the car I might as well check that for fluid Loss it does the other not have fluid in etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 You might as well contact Ford and ask for a quote using that part number. If not, I'd say Febi would be the best aftermarket option. £66 on eBay. Engine Mount fits FORD TRANSIT CONNECT 1.5D Right 2015 on XUGA Mounting 1872079 | eBay If you want to risk a cheaper unbranded one, I'd go for this at £40 with 2 year warranty. ENGINE MOUNTING FOR FORD FOCUS III/ C-MAX II/ KUGA II 1.5 TDCI F1F16F012BB | eBay The other mount is above the gearbox, under the battery. There is no fluid in that one. Gearbox Mounting fits FORD KUGA Mk2 TDCi 2.0D Left 2014 on 6 Speed MTM 1871260 | eBay And there's a lower 'roll restrictor' beneath the gearbox. Again, no fluid in that one either. Genuine Ford Transmission Mounting Housing 1751001 | eBay (6sp manual transmission...if yours is auto I'll have to double check part numbers.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
