You just need to undo the bolt holding the bottom of the shock absorber to remove the mount.

Mechanic came out today, seemed like for ever, not only did he resolve the 2 bent exhaust were replaced and a fresh head gasket just before the old one failed, it was on the way out, and garanteed for a year.

Next stop is the MOT!
