Ive had an annoying clunking for a while and eventually got around to looking at it.
Ive found that my drivers side tower rubber between body and subframe has distingrated badly resulting in movement of the subframe
Are these easy enough to replace by simply undoing the bolt and hoping the new ones will slide in or do i have to undo the rear subframe mounts to get enough gap?
Any tips or advice regarding changing the rubbers is much appreciated

You will need to drop the rear mounts a bit. As described in your workshop manual.

Ive ordered the polyflex tower mounts from minimine. I have brand new rubber pear drop and rubber rear subframe to floor mounts here.
Is it ok to mix the two different types?

Really easy. Remove tower bolt and the subframe mounts to toe board. Have the jack resting underneath before you do then slowly lower it down. It’s also an excuse to give everything a little clean and tidy.
