    I have a 1995 Neon SOHC with about 435,000km on it. The car is running
    good, but after a quick check under the hood, I noticed that the spark
    plug wires are rubbing on the hood, and a few other cables and hoses
    are showing some wear.
    After seeing this, I checked the front motor mount, and found it to be
    worn badly. Is there any way to "patch up" the mount to get me by for a
    month or so?
    At the moment, I have no extra cash for repairs to this car (damn
    wedding and all).
    I have heard of people filling the gap in the mounts with silicon to
    tighten them up. Has anyone seen this, or know of something else I can
    do to get by?
    I have my own garage to work on the car, and have almost all the tools
    I could need.

    Christ! the mount is only about $30.00 canadian. If you can't afford that,
    park the car! And quite asking questions about doing it cheap. It doesn't
    get cheaper then that!
