Hello all
Does anyone have a good idea for a replacement for the hydraulic engine mount, MNA7500AA which is no longer available for purchase??

 

I think the MNA mount, specced for the very latter part of the X305 production run, was not fluid filled. The very expensive MMD7500AA, which is hydraulic, is still available.

 

If you do go for the MMD7500AA part, this is one of those things where it’s much cheaper to import directly from UK, from SNG Barratt, and in two parcels. The no-VAT price is £489.10 plus 24 shipping each. That’s about $623 each. Stay under $1000 per shipment avoids import duty, which is awful because the shipping company charges you ugly fees on top of the duty. You cannot find these in USA for less than $623 each. SNG Barratt USA is $809 each… and it’s faster to get from UK yourself than having USA branch get them from UK and reship. I did this recently with another expensive XJS item they didn’t have in stock in USA, and was cheaper even with shipping to get from UK direct. Website let me do it, no problem. I just changed the country drop down to UK on top, and used USA address at checkout.

 

G'day Per and others,

There is a reply to your query on the Jag Lovers website that is interesting.

Cheers,
Jeff.

Hello all,
Does anyone know front engine mount MMD7500AA (for VIN up to 777506) is compatible with MNA7500AA (for VIN 777507 and up) which is not available for purchase?
I asked technical assistance at Jaguar Land Rover Classic Parts, but I could not get answer that I expected. They said, "I have nothing documented saying that the earlier version is compatible, but that is not to say it may be. It would be worth checking the various forums for guidance."

I own MY1997 Daimler Double Six (VIN 795773). I have severe vibrations now and I want to fix it.
I know MMD7500AA is currently available at Jaguar Land Rover Classic Parts. They are really expensive so that I want to make sure the MMD7500AA works for my car before purchase.

Thank you for your help,

Hello Kenichi, please refer the the above Jag Lovers link that details how to use the much cheaper part:

MNC7500ABE

 

Thanks Jagsandmgs for reminding me a post regarding coversion to conventional mount. I am of course interested in that, however my mechanic says labor cost will be high. I think the least expensive way may be just replacing old mounts with new ones, without cutting cone on the sub frame.

useful thread from when I did my front subframe. Kenichi san you may need to check bushings for vibration as well as engine mounts
