I'm having issues in the car with regards to motor mounts (engine mounts),
when accelerating and letting go of the gas pedal there is a thud and when there are more passengers the car tends to vibrate alot,
i have identified that the mounts are pretty bad (previous owners have plugged in some nails to the mount to help clear the gaps )
i have checked with the genuine parts dealers and for all three it would set me back around 30K, where as the garage mechanic suggested to remove the rubber bush and get them replaced with new one's (from panchi, apparently they do that there) which would cost me lot less.
So my question is should i go for brand new? or should i go with replacing the rubber? will i end up paying again for the new ones? has anyone here replaced rubber only and had good results?
Thanks in advance!

So for a spirited convo like this old times; ?BYD
My father has gone ninja about getting one, despite being the new hype/fad here these are common across the world and I've seen a few cross 100,000km in Nepal and Australia.
Seal - Looks nice, very premium interior but too low for my applications
Sealion - Very Premium, feels very well built, BUT that 1.5L on that reasonable chunk of car with a measly 18KW battery seems like a recipe for trouble, incase they sink in value at least the fuel economy must justify that (They say it's a BYD engine - though the lore is it is a hyundai engine)
Atto 3 - Most sold from their lot apparently, common af, Seems to be the best bang for buck IMHO, Its electric since BYD is famed for that, Interior is kinda good, the thing is larger than a vezel but not too large like the Sealion, cheap mobility I guess with less things to go wrong
Dolphin, almost a smaller atto and again too car like and not suited for my application.
JK nailed it on the price and distribution but the only guaranteed thing here is the lot are gonna muck up the aftersales. The Kandy center staff behave like the crew from a Govt. post office.
What are your thoughts and opinions? Could this be the next Wagon R or is this a passing fad like the Micros of 2000s-2010s?
I have an empty parking slot at home previously occupied for 6 years by the starlet and 3 months by an AD wagon -what would be a bang-for-the-buck fun shitbox? Preferably auto as I live in a crowded suburb that has sapped the joy of stick shift out of my system.

Hi All,
