Got the Tuscan in for service and the engine mount bushes have been condemed. I have been offered poly "upgrades". Can't find any definitive opinion on PH on these for longevity but am concerned that the cold running vibration would drive me a bit mad. I can't find any reference to them previously being replaced in the meticulous sevice history from the one previous owner. Given I only do a couple of k per year, is it better to stick to the original spec. ?

Stick with the originals. I was advised that poly type transmit much more vibration, I have had one new one on nearside mount after 10000 miles / 5 years. If you track day car though, the excess heat will reduce their life. Dave
