Re:
Changing engine mounts in the xtrail is far from being "basic work" mate!

Engine Mount Fun
Hi Guys,
I've had a heap of fun with engine mounts recently.
A recent trip to the beach put one of my engine mounts out of sorts. At idle, the exy shakes really bad, but when you're driving, you can't tell at all. A mate and I inspected all the mounts, and we thought the one on the gearbox was the one shaking the most. So we bought a new one and changed it. What a mission. Turns out, we changed the wrong one (anyone want to buy a new or secondhand gearbox mount)
So now I'm back to square one, and wouldn't mind hearing people's opinion on which engine mount might be causing lots of shaking at idle, and smooth when you are driving. None of the mounts seem to be moving any more than others, and we cannot see any cracks in them. I haven't looked for dripping oil though... that sounds interesting.
Thanks for your help!
its a T30s2 btw.

Re:
More likely it would be the mount where there is less weight on it when the engine starts to twist under acceleration.

Re: Engine Mounts
Normally both the front and rear engine mounts would need to be changed together as when one has gone it puts more stress on the other.
I expect from your description of "gearbox mount" you changed the rear engine mount ?
If so then I would like to know what exactly you did as I have found it very hard to remove the centre bolt from mine to change it.
The front mount is very easy, just drop the centre frame after removing the centre bolt for the mount as the engine supports itself off the other 3 mounts.
I have pics of doing mine if you would like them.
