In this video, we see an interesting timelapse of the installation of engine mount reinforcements on the Opel Astra Version G. This is a Powerflex accessory available on e-commerce sites like eBay with code 385183202853 at a price of £36.98 per pair plus £14.07 for shipping.

As shown in the video, the installation is not difficult: lift the vehicle from the rear, spray WD-40 to facilitate the removal of the part, then remove the mount and install the two reinforcements after covering them well with grease to prevent squeaking.

Refit the screws after applying thread lock and then tighten everything.
