Does anybody know how many hours labour is involved in replacing all three engine mounts
How long is a piece of string? Four post lift? Two post lift? Side arm lift? Pit? Jack and stands?

Get my drift?

lower one can be a pain (due to number of bolts), so depends how garage feel about it.

maybe 3-4 hrs for all three ?

Sorry my mistake I meant the Vwr mounts, an I was thinking of the amount of time it would take a fully equipped garage so not a diy job at home.
