I have just got my car out of the shop and they have said that my engine mount is sagging. is there any quick and/or cheap ways to remedy this? they have said that it is not urgent at the moment baut may get worse.

The only way to fix it is to replace the mount.

Hey the mounts in these things r s#!t gota replace them, if you r mechanicly minded you can do em your self you'l need a stumpy 15mm for one of the nuts on the left mount it can be a pig. if you leave them go to long the sump can hit the k-frame

if you leave it to long it splits and the oil goes everywhere.

oh yeah if you use kelpro mounts clean all the rubber crap of the threads or it will take ages to wind the nuts all the way down.

Several years ago, my sump started to touch the crossmember due to sagging mounts, so I simply cut a coupla 6mm thick 'U' shaped packers to slip one under each mount. Loosened the bottom bolt underneath each mount, jacked up the donk a bit, and slipped them in. NO problems, saved rooting around replacing them. Now that the mounts have settled, they seem to have sagged no further.
