Hi guys, please help a sister. My mother's gold
Fiat Punto elx16v
Year reg 2001
Engine no: 46524975
has been parked in the garage for about 3years now as she couldn't find the "front engine mounting". She lost the sample aswell and I'd like to use the car now but I need to order the part. I've googled it and they send a lot of different parts now I'm confused. Can anyone who has this car send a picture of what the part looks like please.
 
3 mounts on puntos

Engine mount (timing belt side)
Gearbox dogbone (underneath)
Gearbox mount (under battery tray)

Dogbones tend to fail more due to engine rocking in the other 2

Any decent scrappy should get the missing part

Been 3 years old and stood
Battery will probably be duff
The tyres will probably be flat spotted
Brake fluid will contain water affecting braking
And oils will need flushing

Coolant probably needs doing too...

There is always a caution to cars that havr stood

Thank you so much Ziggy122.
I called a mechanic today,he looked at the engine it turns out its the dog bone.
So he tied it with a wire and drove it around, it couldn't change gears so he drained the old oil and replaced it, he says I'll have to replace the shocks, brakes, battery and the water leaks a little.
I'll call him about the brake fluid change thank you for mentioning that.
