Don't know............. will do soon. The mount has an oil filled bladder inside, so my aim is to slit this, clean it out and have a play...........

i heard a co-agulated mixture of rhino sperm and donkey saliva is the way forward.

I think the way to go would be to modify the OE mounts. something I will look at soon. This review is an open and honest account of my thoughts. I have driven the VWR red car at length, and now the BSH mounts fitted to mine, and I feel they detract away from the ethos of a Golf GTI. The understated slightly refined Golf is what it is about for me. Just the trans play....................
I could have bought a Westfield if i wanted out and out pure attachment to the road. I set out not to blow sunshine up the aris of the manufacturers, nor to be psychophantic in my review or posts.

....You sound as if you should have bought an Audi. :grin:
I think that there are many Mk1/2/3/4/5 GTI owners who would define the ethos of a Golf GTI somewhat differently. Sure, a Westfield or Triumph motorbike will give you pure attachment to the road but without the allround practicality of a modified GTI. But we have all said it many times before and it's a truly great thing that we each have our individual choices how to use our cars and/or how to modify them.
Incidentally, do you know which engine mounts the VWR demo car had when you drove her?

The ethos of the GTI has always been the same - MKI to MKVI:
To look as normal on Knightsbridge as it does on a pub car park. To have the admiration and respect of the 'cool' and still get the door opened by the consierge at a plush hotel without him looking down his nose at you. To be able to drop the wife off at work without making her wince and then drive home like you're about to shat your pants.
I think sometimes people convince themselves that the money they've spent on mods is always a step towards perfection. Sometimes they aren't and you make it worse. I praise Dave for trying both sides and evaluating as he sees it.

And at qd, sorry to hear the honeymoon period was over so fast, but I'm glad you've put an impartial write up of your experiences! ;)

Jay,
I think QD is quoting from the book of wisdom that is Jezza Clarkson 8)
