Default Auto Lights - Top Mounts - Suspension

Hello Everyone! Posted last week on my new Jaguar XKR. Truly a beauty, I've had a few trips that had to be done, consequentially have done over 2000kms on her and feel like its been just 200!

However, it is an older car, it's bound to have a few problems.

The most annoying problem is the top mounts in the rear suspension. There is the usual sound I've read about from the back of the car. My mechanic has no issue having that done, however I need the parts. Any idea where I could get a couple of rear top mounts? (quick deliver, good quality & price)

After that, there is the overall suspension which having experienced other x100 is not as soft as it should be. Is this due to the top mounts or should there be something else to address?

Finally, a minor but very inconvenient issue would be the auto lights. They turn on and off when the car does so, however it seems the sensor isn't doing it's job properly as the lights are on day and night.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks.

Look at back of mirror. There is a photo diode there facing forward. Some, like myself, put a piece of black tape there to force lights on all the time for safety. Us version of daytime running lites...
