FYI - Motor Mount problem solved
A couple of weeks ago I discovered that the left/drivers side motor mount on my XF SRT was broken. The engine was moving so much upon acceleration that it was hitting the hood. I ordered two new mounts from Deutsche Parts e-Bay store. You have to buy both mounts, left & right. The price was $115.69 + $12.00 shipping. I think the price is pretty good because most of the other prices I've found were for a lot more. One was over $200 for one mount. The new mts are made by HAMBURG TECHNIC. When I compared them to the old OEM mts, the new ones seemed much better made; bigger/stronger. I was considering strapping w/cable the engine down to prevent future mount failures like some other XF owners have done. Since the new mts seem to be much improved over OEM, I no longer feel the need to use cables to keep the engine from moving. That "fix" always seemed like a last resort to me. I am very happy to have the new/stronger mounts installed at a good price. Just thought I'd pass this info along to other XF owners because I've read of others having the same problem.
