www.powerflexshop.com/...ad-use-206
Ref: 20 - Lower Rear Engine Mount Bush (1 Bush) - PFF50-306 +£29.88
it seems like the other one i ordered was for the 1.4 engine so it looks as if powerflex only do the one bush for the engine mount?

another update for you all, iv decided to go for a supersprint exhaust manifold thats designed to fit the oe cat, so less hassle etc etc, we are limited for the amount of time the car can be off the road as the wife uses it for work each day.
iv also ordered a set of kw -40mm lowering springs this should still keep the ride height practical but give it a much better stance, and ordered the vibratechnics gearbox engine mount, im hoping to fit the manifold/mounts and lower it in 1 day then the wife can have it back to get to work.

wait . Fit exhaust manifold plus de-cat also fit the Inlet if you can .
4-1 manifold best for flow. one on Gumtree 50 quid a couple days ago .. then get it remapped for best results . Mrs aint gna be happy lol . Took me 4 hr exhaust manifold to cat fitted & welded.
Ive contacted 2/3 tuning comps and they will not help further after they are told of my first remap .
Ring psi .make sure they will run the car again & be able to remap it after your mods . If you go first like i did .after map i Fitted mods & no remap ! Wtf . Anyone out there in southwest ??
What price is your remap at psi remap ?
