Only had it 3,000 miles but the engine sounds and feels a little gruff under load and gives the car a sideways shudder when I switch the engine off.
Are the engine mounts a known cause of this?
The car has done 181K with FSH.
Hi all
I hit a deer on my travels which has pushed back the headlight on my 57 W211. Is there anyway to repair the brackets as MB want £600 for a new one.

I'm trying to find aftermarket engine and gearbox mounts for my 2007 E280 CDI 4MATIC. There is an aftermarket right engine mount but no company seems to be producing the left one and the gearbox mount is different from the non-4MATIC one so it's also been impossible to find. Maybe I'm searching...

I replaced my engine mounts at the weekend. I6 320 CDi engine. What an unbelievable difference. The n/s one was totally goosed and the dome portion of the top was squashed just below flat. The o/s one was better but not by much. Now the shudder at start and stop is totally gone and things are...
On the above car, thinking about changing the engine mounts as they have done 90k, done a little research on here and over on the Usa forum.
Some have said when doing the osf engine mount you have to unbolt the bracket from the engine that the mount is bolted to.
