Say that this is filling in until the experts arrive.

Looks like there are 12 different ones, depending on the model.
For some, you may get the rubber only.
For others, it's the entire casting for big bikkies.
You may get the rubber only for all of them from Peugeot.

its a 1.4 petrol that i have. I hope its the rubber only. The car has done 83000 miles now and apart from this "noise" i have when i pull off everything is fine. The engine moves quite a lot, and the brother in law is putting a big bet on this engine mount being knackered. I have a knowledge of mechanics but this car has been a pig of a car and everything that goes wrong is expensive to fix

let alone being quite a challenge. The easiest thing was the anti roll bar link which took ten mins

Fiddly job -

Either you remove the lower engine support bracket (10min's) and hacksaw out the old bush (upto 30mins), pressin a new bush (20mins) and refit bracket (5mins). Some 1hour total plus som £10 for a new bush.

Or - you dismantle RHS suspension arm/hub, remove RHS driveaxle, remove lower engine support bracket, remove engine support mount, refit new engine support mount, refit the rest - at least 3-4 hours plus the expensive complet mount assembly.

so any ideas how much the whole new mount would be? I think i am just going to take it to a garage but i dont want to be ripped off.

So! that would be 3-4 hours labour plus parts. Different garages, different labour rates.... like asking how long is a piece of string.

How about saving big bikkies by doing it yourself, using an old shoe like this crazy Frenchman:

well this "noise" has turned out to be something more serious!!! After i posted, i went out and the temp gage went sky high and the stop light came on. Drove home and noticed it was low on water, so filled up the water and left it overnight. Got in the next day and before i got to the end of the road, the temp gage was high again and the stop light came on again. Anyhow, rang my mechanic and told him about the noise when pulling off and the temp problem (ruled out the rad thermostat) he seems to think its the cylinder head gasket and quoted £300!!!!
It makes sense as for about 6 months when i first start it in a morning it often cuts out and sounds very "blowy" untill it is warm and then it seems ok. No smoke, no water in oil but now with temperature problem and its definately not the rad thermostat as i have replaced it today.
