Thanks!
Two things:

1. golf TRASMISSION mounts for Rover p6 engine?
2. how do you get admitted to the classicroverforum? Is there a mail to write, a webmaster?

Thanks again, ciao, Gianluca

HI Giancarlo,

I can't find the part number off at the moment. But if you specify a transmission mount for a 1987 Golf that'll give you the correct part. Order two and you'll be good. I fitted a pair a good few years back and they hold up great. Another plus is they are hydraulically filled so do a great job of damping vibrations into the body.

Best,

Steven
