I thought they were the same as engine mounts. the last one I purchased I am sure was less than $50. Have you tried some Melbourne LR suppliers? I am sure you could get it shipped to you within a day or two.

Bloody hell man
Land Vehicle spares on 477441741.
They'll do it COD to your local PO for around $30 each!!
I know this as I bought a pair for my Disco.
I assume you're talking about the round rubber mounts?

$22 was the price i paid for them at ricks on the goldy a couple months back, there is a slight difference between the box mounts and the engine mounts, box mounts are actually $3 cheaper than the engine mounts. A lot of people just use the engie mounts as it seems a lot of people are not aware you can buy both, the only difference is that box mounts have a larger size thread in them.
I thik someone is trying to stitch you up on the price???

These are the ones I was thinking of, on my '95 R380 and LT230, pretty much the same as the ones on the 3.9 too.
Maybe the TDI's have different ones?

Syd is a landie owner and makes them himself. BETTER than OEM AND cheaper. Even if it is non a stocked mount, he should be able to make them.
I have his V8 110 engine and trans mounts in my IIA. They are about 12yo and still like new.

People are talking about the V8 rangie/v8 disco 1 engine mounts in this case, which they are correct, are the same as the gearbox mounts for same model car.
However, yours has the Series 2 disco style gearbox mounts.... which is odd, I didn't remember any series 1 having those style, but anyway. You could try secondhand out of a series 2, as most wrecked series 2s have been used only on the road and very rarely bugger the gearbox mount.

FWD in Brisbane sell them for about $16 each. Terrible quality though. Have to be real careful not to strip the thread.
I have the QT engine mounts for my V8 Disco1. Can also be used as gearbox/transfer mounts. Transmit a bit more vibration but you won't break them.
I got them from Rovacraft in Perth.
