Okay went for a drive with new drop links and it's much better but if you hit speed bumps too hard the sound is still there. Apparently a bolt was rubbing the suspension on the previous install. But not the sole cause.
This is the drivers side top mount from the front of car
Seems fine to me as I don't think you could fit it the other way.
I wonder if it's just the suspension travel bottoming out.
Going to get xsara rack put on this weekend and get bushes and arms replaced. (Need to read up on all the bushes to get them to replace)
Bit gutted I am not doing work myself but lack of dry space (I'm useless so a ten minute job turns into a 2 day job!) and my stupid limp wrist means it would be sitting over winter and I want to actually use it.
The top mounts are on equally.

Good thing is, it's much better now with new drop links. So it's only if you're going too fast over them to be sympathetic to the car that you hear it.
