well i fitted the new thermostat yesterday Whooo!!! and even had to make my own gasket as i never got one from fiat, i asked them for it 3 times and still not here, ( you'd have thought they would have put it in the box idiots!!) so sick of waiting (and so was the misses WHEN YOU FIXING MY CAR????) i bought a piece of universal gasket paper and alls well, anyway i was having my usual poke around and noticed the rear engine mount is getting fooked so i need a replacement. does anyone know if all the uno range wear the same mounts. esp will the diesel mounts fit as they are usualy made harder to withstand the vibrations from the smoke buckets or will teepot mounts work? they seam to be a weak link these mounts, iv'e already changed the front gearbox one, that only lasted a month, also my subframe to gearbox gear selection rods are worn if anyone can help ANT!

I know my old UT from years ago was going through engine mounts quicker than a whore through a navy ship. 
I'd replace one, and then thr front mount would go, replace that, then the rear was worn again, etc, etc.
I talked the issue over with Desira, and it was suggested that replacing just one mount at a time wasn't such a good idea, as the excessive play in the partly worn non-replaced mounts was leading to premature wear in the one that was replaced.
So instead I replace all of them, and I had another 40,000 mile out of it after that, before I sold it on.
