Boydie Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 no experience at all but if they are made from urethane they are likely to be harder and less flexible than the standard rubber OE units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Read the red print in the add.... Not the best sales patter I've heard like... "(THIS GRADE MAY CAUSE MORE ENGINE VIBRATION THAN USUAL - NOT SUITABLE FOR EVERY DAY USE)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daan Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 No experience, but with a TDI, I reckon it will shake your teeth fillings out personally. Daan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 That disclaimer is ridiculous - it's even worse than the Land Rover steering wheels they sell on eBay, which say 'not for off road use'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 What's wrong with good quality standard ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Idris Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Just to be awkward, some of those hydraulic-engine-mounts might be nice? A bit pricey, but they were great on the boat with a Vetus 3 banger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Woodward Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 A friend had some on his 200 Tdi, took them off after a week, felt like the engine was solidly mounted!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel_90 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 QT services do a engine and gearbox mount that uses a rear trailing arm rubber bush. http://www.qtservices.co.uk/parts/land-rover-forward-control-101/engine-and-transmission/e1010-v8-engine-mounts_v8-engine-mounts.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Note that knackered, 'softer' mounts will give more rumble/vibration as good new ones, as they allow the engine to move around much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boydie Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'll put a question to you. Do you think that after-market suppliers of suspension, engine & gearbox isolation mounting rubbers spend as much money in research on NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) as the manufacturer did when they came to specify the original mounts and mount material? Answer is an emphatic NO !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomikey Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 thanks guys, I did recommend the glencoyne mounts to him, but he wanted to see if anyone had experience with these, sounds like they are a no go. (I did suspect as I hadn't heard of them before) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 To be fair, I didn't even look at the link But having looked now, 1.5T, does not sound very strong to me.... Not sure though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Drumstick Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'll put a question to you. Do you think that after-market suppliers of suspension, engine & gearbox isolation mounting rubbers spend as much money in research on NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) as the manufacturer did when they came to specify the original mounts and mount material? Answer is an emphatic NO !!! Sorry I disagree. Sure the pot of money aftermarket suppliers use is a lot smaller. But they also aren't doing all the R&D or starting at the very beginning. The manufacture has already done a heap of R&D and in stock trim will normally offer up a compromise solution based on: -cost -performance -comfort This gives any 3rd party suppliers a fantastic starting point to tailor a part in another direction. But as a rule being better at one thing will result in being worse in others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Dirtydiesel replicated the QT captive mounts, not a tricky fab job if there's a chance the truck might roll ever. You could incorporate a bigger/softer bush (EG freelander rear diff mount void bush) in a similar design but it might not like supporting a big rattly engine.

Team Idris Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I used front radius arm bushes for my V8 to make them captive and take more weight, but I wouldn't expect them to move more than the threaded standard ones. I guess the best thing is to add weight to the engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
