I am an Activaist-v6 and a 2.1Estateerr

[Stickyfinger]

Oops.....disks are wrong for the v6.....rats.

The "shop" selects these for the V6......so that is wrong as they are 266mm ones. I will have to return them sadface !

MOT @ 4pm today.......gulp (I always do)

[MikeT]

Good luck Alasdair!

You don't need luck, Alasdair, not with the way you look after your vehicles.

You'll be fine Alasdair, and so will the car... I do fully understand though... I'm exactly the same, if not a lot worse...

That's a bugger on those discs

[Stickyfinger]

My "Stupid" Jim for not checking that their site throws up non suitable recommendations.

[Stickyfinger]

MoT PASS with zero advisories, my clean record with all my cars is maintained....phew.

[CitroJim]

Alasdair, that's fantastic news

Mind you, I never doubted that would be the result of your MOT for a split-picosecond

[Stickyfinger]

I did see a lower engine mount that I am not "happy" with however, the MoT tester laughed at me and said "that is fine np".
I would like to change it however

What is the job like on a V.6 ?

[Stickyfinger]

It seems that the Green Goblin had a new lower engine mount just before I scrapped her....result

[CitroJim]

Now that is a lovely result Alasdair... Excellent

One thing worth knowing if this is the same one as used in a 1.9TD and other XU engine Xantias, especially the TCT Activa...

[Stickyfinger]

Nice to have an OEM one in a new bracket, save faffing about pressing in cheap ones

[xantia_v6]

I am pretty sure that the lower mount is the same as the other PSA engines.
I think that it will be a LOT easier to change if you take it out of the bracket and just change the bush.

That's good to know Mike

I think that it will be a LOT easier to change if you take it out of the bracket and just change the bush.

I quite agree, already expressed this view to Alasdair outside the forum!

I'd certainly not faff about trying to do it in-situ - I know how tight these are in the housing... Removing the driveshaft is a price to pay to do the job easily, safely and being able to use a bench press...

Generally, so often and in many cases, a little more dismantling and doing the job on the bench can be so much easier - and quicker! - than struggling in-situ...

[Stickyfinger]

Is Mike not saying it is easier to do ON the car Jim ?
