If it's the same as your garage van then I would be changing all four..
might as well as they come in a set
support the engine safely and follow the haynes

changed mine this week... quite easy, but buy from brickwerks.I tried to save a few pounds and bout some 'German made' ones from ebay. The inner mounts wouldnt fit
So had to order another set from Brickwerks, went straight in no bother.
I took the engine support bar off and the cradle that holds the 4 mounts, not sure if the manual suggests doing this but it looked the easiest option

still easy to do but you need to remove the alloy cooling shroud , fan , and alternator to get access to the mounts but can be done without dropping the engine from the gearbox just remove gear linkage and lower engine down enough to gain access under the rear valance
