i accidently over filled my carwith oil and the engine reved madly out of control and i had to stall it.
do you think it will have caused any internal damage or will i just have to drain the oil off and clean the pipes out?
also will i need a new engine mount considering the force that it was put upon when the engine was stalled?
1.9 td overfilled with oil

Clean it out and drop the oil to the correct level, be ready to stall it again just in case, until it has settled down.
Doubt there will be anything wrong with the engine mounts but have a look for anything obvious.
You wont know if there has been any damage until it is running again, so fingers crossed, but I think the only hurt if any would have been to the clutch, and then only the fact that a few hundred miles of extra wear would have been put on it.
