As "Driver's side" means right hand side here in the UK and left hand side everywhere else in Europe which side do you actually have the problem with?!! Are talking about the top engine mount that sits in a cradle by one of the strut turrets or the gearbox mount?

Sounds like the mounting point in the bottom of the cradle has broken e.g. in this thread https://www.306oc.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=16377 & this thread https://www.306oc.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=4332 . .  Metal fatigue there isn't uncommon.

Most people weld it back in but you'll obviously have to get the mount and the fragment it's attached to out first.
