   I was driving down a gravel road today and when I came of it onto tarmac the whole car vibrates, even at idle in neutral the car will vibrate, all the way up the rev range aswell?
   
   I know when I did the conversion the rubers on the drivers side mount wernt in the best condition? I have juat had a quick look at the bottom mount and the bolts are intact? And the bolts on the drivers mount seems fine aswell, has any one got any ideas please? Cheers

   Could be a misfire?

   I would say a mount mate, you'd be able to tell if it was a misfire.

   Sounds like an engine mount to me. Open your bonnet with the engine running, rev it on the throttle body and see if the engine rocks excessively. I had the top right engine mount go on my old 1.5 D and the car vibrated terribly.

   was gonna say by reading the title, if not a misfire then it's an engine mount, nothing else.
