So I fitted propsports and new topmounts under 2 years ago, passed one MOt but has now failed the next on Excessive movement, they claim I need new topmounts. (£175 fitted!)

 

Cant understand this as they are those red polybush ones.

 

Any tips on solving this one?

Go to a different MoT place, since that's a subjective?

Wonder if its the old top bit cup thing not quite fitting snugly on  the poly mounts.....

Ordered some polo cup things, will mod them as per the how to guide and see if it helps.

Were the topmounts OEM?

is very simple....red poly mounts are lower,so from the very first day will have play when you jack the car

Yeah, red polybush topmounts.

 

Been on 2ish years with no issues, think the MOT place is just being picky, dont think its a problem. 

normal top mounts are thiker,softer and when the MOT guy jacks the car up to check for plays the mount will decomprime a bit and stay snug so will be no play

May have resolved it with the polo mount hack mod. Just need a couple of washers......hopefully will get them quickly so I can get a free retest and see.

Right, MOT passed. For the cost of £15.
