was driving along the other day, and my engine dropped off its mount on the drivers side lol. lukily it doesn't look like its damaged much, ive noticed the rubbers knackerd and probably the movement has freed the ONE bolt that was holding it on.
i've been told that corsas are known for engine mounts failing, is this true?

I wouldn't have thought that a bolt would be known for failing tbh. Has one sheared?

Bolt hasn't failed, the nuts come off it, i think it was down to the movement due to the failed rubber.
Didn't help the fact it only had one bolt instead of two.

ive had lots and lots of corsas and the one one ive seen with the same problem was an xe conversion that was of questionable build quality

A nylock nut when you're replacing it would help that
