Haha so not basic tools.

I've got the rest apart from torque wrench and trolley jack. Do I really need a torque wrench? Definitely don't have a trolley jack. Might have to leave this one... Perhaps it's not excessive movements. It rocks forwards to the front of the car by about an inch or two. Should I post a video?

Others on here will disagree but down the years when I've had my engine mounts off for whatever job such as timing belts etc I've never ever torqued the mounts up, I wouldn't worry just make sure they are tight, get some new bolts while your at it

I've double checked and its about an inch roughly - don't think its too bad - I will probably get the powerflex and dogbone upgrade at some point.

For future reference - could someone point me in the right direction for these two parts?
