It appears that it was the Engine mount for the Vibration, apparently $270.00 each plus labour.I haven't got the car yet, since the total quote for 90,000km service + stock brakes (rotors and pads all round), 3 hoses, a few lights and the mounts came to $2500.00.All apparently wear and tear....I don't have a lazy 2.5k to spend on fixing this at the moment... so, I am now wanting to know what the damage will be if I don't get the mounts done for say, the next month or so and drive the car relatively easy but still do my normal KM's?Thanks to all the help so far, much appreciated...

I have seen damaged engine mounts cause all sorts of uglyiness in other cars, (ie crack chassis rail, broken gear box extension housings etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolant hoses, etc?Brake discs are mandatory however at around 80,000 their the same part as jaguar, consumablesHas anybody had to change the lifters at the engine? I've only done 76k and I think its almost shot apparently that is one of the wear/tear consumables as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only done 76k and I think its almost shot apparently that is one of the wear/tear consumables as well According to Ford it was an "intake hose" and two other minor hoses, I didn't query becuase they were only $20.00 each, I doubt now looking back at it that they actually needed doing.Brakes can wait, I took the front wheels off the other day (long story) and looked at the pads and rotors and they looked like plenty of pad and the rotors had no etching, so stuff them.Haven't touched the lifters, how would you tell without taking the cover off? Never been mentioned to me before, best searching or new topic it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
