Engine Mount fitting
My slight vibration issue seems to be linked to the engine mounts, so I am about to order a new pair and with out wanting to sound dumb how easy are they to fit??
I am only putting standard ones in as I dont use the car for track days or anything like that.
They look pretty straightforward. (Well,more straight forward than other engine mounts I have changed anyway!)

It can be a little tricky, I had to use an impact wrench to get the main nut off of mine, and ended up bending the engine carrier. Make sure that you use a lot of WD-40, penetrating oil, or the UK equivalent. And then use a torque wrench, or breaker bar, instead of the impact wrench.
Once the engine is disconencted, they are easy to get out and replace. Just make sure that the engine is fully supported.
