1.4 Diesel Rear Engine Mount DE
Hi all,
Need to replace the rear engine mount because it has had its day. However, I'm having a bit of an issue with what part to buy. Looking under the car, the engine mount looks like the one found in the DY models and in the Ford Fiesta's. However, the actual part for the DE on Ebay looks nothing like the one on the car. I've seen on the petrol's it is this type but I can not seem to find a rear engine mount for the 1.4 Diesel.
Does anybody know what part it or if there is an OEM number.
I'm going to ring Mazda tomorrow, but would be grand if anyone has any knowledge about it?
Thanks in Advance.

Okay an update, for anyone who might need this for future reference.
I called Mazda and asked for a part number who basically told me to get lost, and told me that they can source the part for none less than £124.
So I thought, right just use the Fiesta/ Mazda 2 DY mount.
The part is identical for this model and it does fit, however, the brackets are slightly different meaning it will not fit if you use the bracket that is on the new mount. You have to get a hammer and smash it hell for leather until it comes off, this has to be done on the new and old mounts to swap them. The hex key (the best way of describing it) that it fits on does not entirely line up either on the new mount, making it an absolute pain, however because it is an interference fit you can just slave the old bracket onto the new mount when its on the car, the force of the bolt as its torques up takes up any slack and does fit.
It is more of a pain because of this but the Ford part cost £17.99, so it quite a saving :-)
It is quite difficult to explain but hopefully this will help someone if they have the same problem on their 1.4 in the future.
However, the petrol engine mounts are different again so this is only for the 1.4cd.

I had a similar problem replacing the top drivers side (UK) engine mount, the hydro one. Mazda dealer would not just sell me the mount, they said i HAD to book it in for a diagnosis first.
I took to looking on ebay for it and I found that the mk7 fiesta mount looked identical and was around £30 cheaper than the "mazda" ones.
Even the original mount i removed from the car had the FoMoCo logo stamped on it.
Same with rear shock absorbers, bought fiesta mk7 rear shocks which are identical but cheaper than "Mazda 2 DE" ones.
