Default Broken engine mount ?

Evening gents pretty sure I've broken engine mount I'm pretty sure possibly 2. The motor is rocking east to west in the car :/ can feel the vibration through the whole car. More importantly can I drive then 10 minutes home or is it not worth it ?

Seems to be more of an issue at idle, car sounds fine runs fine.

You wont be able to tell revving the engine without any load. Put the hand brake on. give it some gas and slip the clutch abit while your mate is watching the engine.. Do it in 1st then reverse and you will be able to tell which mount is fucked if not both.

I had a look at them when I was under my car last. To be honest they wouldn't be that hard to change but you will have to lift the engine alittle bit with a jack. I'd be spewing if it was snapped engine mounts after just having them replaced.
