Engine / Gearbox Mounts 2.2 DTI

[MJL]

Morning All.

I went to have a look at a car last night, Vectra C 2003 2.2 DTi SRi.

Well i went up to have a look around and its not to shabby. Started it up from cold, it fired over first time, gave it a good 20 min run to get it up to temp, ALL good, Started from hot, again all fine.
BUT there a few issues. New tyre needed, Door strap noisy etc... But the main sticking point is below.

1. On the MOT advisory it says 'Engine / Gearbox Mount Gone'.

When moving off or braking to a stop theres a slight thud / clunk. Is this an easy fix? OR how is the best way to check the mounts?

Is there an engine stabilser on these like the Vectra B V6?

Cheers Mark.

I'd be interested to know about this too as my siggy has a bit of a thud when changing up/down some times. There was an advisory on the last MOT but that was done before I bought the car and there is no details of what it is. Is there any way of getting the MOT details? as my MOT is due at end of month.
