One of the rubber mounted sump guard bolts has snapped .it’s the rear right hand one , is this a stud that screws into the engine and as such will have to be drilled out

It's a six sided rubber mount with a stud at each end. If a stud has broken off inside the sump, then it'll have to be drilled out and a new stud screwed in. The studs are different length and iirc the long one is screwed into the sump. Motorworks sell new ones, but the problem will be drilling the old one out!

One of mine broke 10 years ago. It's still broke. Don't worry about it.
