any tips stopping it spinning would be grateful. i downloaded the engine removal from this site which is really helpful but doesnt mention the mounts.

That means the engine mount is broken. Youll have to replace it. Take the two bolts out that connect the mount to the hull. Once you have the engine out you will see it fall apart. Then you can grab onto the metal plate with vise grips and rattle gun it out. If you try to do it by hand, youll be there all year.

oooer well i have at least two that are broken then. thanks for that, saves me wasting my time... i am a bit baffled on how to get the engine out. there is something on this forum but it states everything has to come off which i cant see to be the case?

Just take the exhaust off (not the manifold) and disconnect everything that you can see as long as you remember how to put it back in. are you only pulling the engine out to replace the mounts or is there an engine problem. Remember when you put new mounts in you will need to shim the motor again so the drive shafts dont vibrate and strip.
