Second Hand Vauxhall Movano Gearbox Mount

The Movano has run across two main generations in the UK: the X70 (first generation, 1998–2010) and the X62 (second generation, 2010–2021), with a third generation arriving around 2021 onwards. A mount from the X70 generation is very unlikely to fit an X62 or later van, and even within a generation, engine code and gearbox type are the critical matching points. Always confirm the part against your exact registration and engine code with the breaker before ordering.

Yes, the Vauxhall Movano does have a gearbox mount — it is a front-wheel-drive van (in standard form) with a transversely mounted engine, and like most such layouts it uses rubber mounting points to secure the gearbox to the subframe or body. This is a genuine, regularly replaced wear item on the Movano, so sourcing one from a breaker is straightforward. Make sure you supply your engine code, fuel type, and gearbox type (manual or automatic) when requesting quotes, as these are the details that determine the correct mount.

Fuel type does matter here because the engine and gearbox assembly differs between petrol and diesel variants, which affects the mounting geometry and bracket design. The vast majority of UK Movanos are diesel, but you should still confirm your exact engine code (found on your V5C or via a VIN check) rather than relying on fuel type alone. Supply that engine code to the breaker and they can match the mount correctly.

No, the body length and roof height designations (such as L1H1, L2H2, or L3H2) do not affect which gearbox mount you need — these describe load space and body dimensions, not the drivetrain. What matters is your engine code, gearbox type (manual or automatic), and the generation of the van. Two Movanos with completely different body configurations but the same engine code and gearbox will typically use the same mount.

This spans the X70-to-X62 generation change, which happened around 2010, so a 2009 van is first-generation X70 and a 2011 is second-generation X62. Parts crossing that generation boundary are generally not interchangeable, and a gearbox mount from 2011 is unlikely to suit a 2009 van. Confirm this firmly with the breaker, quoting both the year and the engine code from your V5C, before purchasing.

The most important details are your engine code (printed on the V5C or obtainable from a VIN check), your gearbox type (manual or automatic), your van's year of manufacture, and your registration number. Body size and trim details are not relevant to gearbox mount fitment, so focus on the drivetrain information. Supplying the engine code in particular gives the breaker the best chance of finding you a correct, compatible part.
