Engine mounts - this one dead?

I've always had a clunk noise from the front OS area of my car - i blamed the ARB bushes, but looking today i think the engine mount is trashed. But i dont know what one looks like when its ok, never mind broken.

Is this dead?

Erm, on the gearbox mount that went on mine, the rubber was hanging out, this looks fine to me.

Re: Engine mounts - this one dead?

Hi,
Try gently bouncing the suspension turrets at the front, the top shock absorber bearing can knock sometimes.........seems to be reasonably common as I had to strip down two legs in the breakers before I found a good one.

Thanks
