Hi, recently I sent my ford cougar year2000, auto for servicing as I had a
Power steering leak problem, my local mechanic told me that I needed to change one of my engine mounts and he doesn't know what the cost would be and it should cost up to a 1000. I live in Melbourne, any advise would help. |

Try a few of these. Usually frieght for these would be 20 to 30$ or there abouts.

I'm guessing but would think most front wheel drive motor mounts could be changed in an hour or two?? Someone else on here might know.

Sorry but I am in Sydney......if your mechanic is quoting over $1000.00.....tell him "he is dreaming" and go somewhere else.
