I had one done recently, its about $320 for the mount ( I`m not making that up ) and 170 ish to fit it.

Mine was done under warrantee so I was quite pleased.

Will your local Ford chap say NO! I won`t fix that under warrantee because you have a tune, or will he just take Fords money and fix it.

You need to take that up with them.. * rolls eyes and whistles

It most assuredly is your left engine mount... They are a fluid filled doover, so it`s a vibration isolator as well see..

Broken LHS engine mount. Did mine myself at home in teh driveway in around 20 mins.

Careful driving it, because it will come up and hit the bonnet! - I slightly marked my bonnet sheild when mine broke, (funnily enough I wasnt being silly or anything, just drove off from the lights and heard a bang)...on inspection the metal had air pockets in it, causing it to fail around the bolt head.

Grab a good Jack, place a peice of wood over the jack head, to protect the sump, gently raise the engine on the Left side to take pressure off the Left mount, unbolt it, put the new mount in, and bolt it all back up to correct torque values.

much easier job than you'd think, fark paying $170 to do it, unless it was the RHS mount, which is a bitch to get at.
