Hi guys,

Can anyone advise me how much would engine mount replacement cost on tvr Tuscan would cost?
I was told by TVR specialist that it would cost 3 hours labour £75+vat per hour plus parts.
Is this reasonable or I am being overcharged? Can this be replaced by any mechanic that is charging less for labour?

Many thanks

Thank you for your advices guys.

I thought so that anyone can do it.
It is true that tvr tax is included.
They haven't give me any special reason as to why would take them so long.
I own the Tuscan for last 8 years since my brother left the country and gave it to me.
Haven't used it for good 3 years and was parked in garage, since my first child was born last year decided to sell it so wanted to service it and put it back on road in order To selll it.
Took it down to tvr garage in Surrey and the work they estimated beside the engine mount is crazy, i guess it's only so they can rip me off.
If there is anyone interested in the car please contact me.
Many thanks

Thank you for your offer mk1fan.
I am based in sw19.
The car is in tvr garage but I will just take it back and not go ahead with the service and repairs I was quoted.
I would happily take your offer if it still suits you sw19.
Let me know and I will get the mounts.

I must admit I am overwhelmed with the feedback I am getting I wish I waisted this site much earlier.

Thank you all
