Body mounts...
Not wanting to cause alarm or panic among the forum, but has anyone every came across ( ) a cracked body mount before? Attached is a picture of one of the mounts from a Disco I just changed the engine on. Cant say I have ever seen it myself personally, and it was only the 1 mount...

The car drove fine, and TBH, if I hadnt spotted that I probably would never have known anything was wrong...
EDIT: Should probably mention it was the very front n/s mount...My D3 Build Thread

Known issue on earlier builds. Mine felt like it had a lot of mevement and I thought mine may be cracked. They looked and it was not cracked but they tightened the bolts and solved the problem.
So maybe if they are not tight enough it could cause cracking? “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

Hmmm. Hit a hidden gulley in a grass verge as let someone pass on a narrow road. Speed may have been a factor Cornering just didn't feel right - found the front 2 n/s body mounts cracked. Had them changed under warranty.
Not a very good picture - you can just about make out the crack
