AA man couldnt see which one was broken, (not any that were in sight) he did say he had never seen an engine move so much from a broken mount.

There was a Skoda dealership selling genuine ones on eBay, got one for my Cupra for approx £30, even arrived in the original VAG packing, part No. And all.

Glad you got it sorted though
