Getting any vibration at all?

I would prolly go with a mounting too

get the bonnet up, get a mate to have the handbrake on, put it in first and try to pull away, if the gearbox mount has gone (which mine has) you will see the engine lift up and move quite a bit.

And in my case hit the bonnet and the Cam pully will be rubbing against the suspension turret!
