R53 Engine mount questions

[mr wiki]

Hi, my cooper s has just pop'ed it's drivers side (offside) engine mount, goofy oil everywhere!

So the question is, where do I get a replacement, there seems to be no online style parts websites? Also how much should it cost and I assume that it's an easy job, just whacking the jack under and removing the old mount?

Standard replacement is good enough although lohen supply the vibratechnics one, if you want to avoid oil filled ones.

Get one off a breaker on eBay or new from BMW. The oil filled ones do fail quite frequently.
