Nissan Cabstar Engine Mount Replacement Parts

The Cabstar went through distinct generations — the F22 series ran into the early 2000s, followed by the F24 series which ran from around 2006 onwards — and engine mounts are not straight swaps across those generation boundaries because the engine family, mounting geometry, and subframe design differ. Within the same generation, the engine code is the critical detail: a mount matched to the same engine code (for example QD32 or ZD30) is far more likely to be compatible than one matched purely by year. If you are buying close to a generation changeover, confirm with the breaker against your exact registration before purchasing. Never assume a mount will fit based on year alone.

Yes, significantly — the Cabstar has been offered with different diesel engines across its life, and each engine code can have its own mounting bracket geometry and rubber mount configuration. The engine code printed on your V5C (or available via a VIN check) is the single most useful piece of information you can give a breaker, more reliable than just quoting the year or the displacement. A mount listed for a QD32-engined Cabstar, for instance, may not correspond to one from a ZD30 variant even if the vans look identical from the outside. Always quote your engine code when requesting a quote.

Gearbox type can affect engine mount fitment because the drivetrain configuration influences how the powertrain is supported and the angle at which the engine sits in the chassis. On a commercial vehicle like the Cabstar, manual and automatic variants may use different transmission mounts and in some cases different engine-side mounts to suit the extra weight and torque characteristics of an automatic gearbox. Confirm your gearbox type as well as your engine code when getting a quote from a breaker. This is especially worth raising if your vehicle is an automatic, as these are the less common variant.

No — body style, payload rating, and whether the Cabstar is a tipper, dropside, or flat-bed does not affect engine mount fitment, because the mount sits between the engine and the chassis and is determined entirely by the engine and drivetrain specification. Two Cabstars with completely different body configurations but the same engine code will use the same engine mount. Focus your search on matching the engine code and generation rather than the body type. The breaker just needs your engine code and registration.

Almost certainly not — the F22 and F24 series use different engine families and chassis structures, so the mounting points, bracket design, and rubber mount geometry are unlikely to be interchangeable. The F22 ran with older diesel units while the F24 series introduced engines such as the ZD30, and the physical mountings were engineered around those specific powerplants. This is exactly the kind of cross-generation question to put directly to the breaker alongside your full engine code and registration, so they can check the part numbers before anything is dispatched. Do not assume compatibility across these generations.

Trim level has no bearing on engine mount fitment — the Cabstar is a light commercial vehicle and any trim or specification differences between variants do not alter the engine mounting arrangement. What matters is the engine code, generation, and gearbox type, not any trim designation. Give the breaker your registration and engine code and they can identify the correct mount regardless of any trim labelling on your vehicle.
