Engine or front subframe mounts shot?

Is this with the engine in gear or not?

[Richardsix]

I would go with that, may not be the engine, more like an engine mount!

Plug leads on right? 1 3 4 2

Remembered the cylinder head to bulkhead stabiliser bar?

No spark on one plug? Though that shouldn't be enough to shake your tooth fillings.
Does the exhaust note sound normal? If so could be something out of balance in the clutch/flywheel department.

OK, so engine based rather than transmission. Mounts?

[Fossilface]

It will be dogbone mount bushed, engine mounts or subframe mounts, or...........

Is this only on the move or stationary too?

Have you checked for any metal to metal contact between the engine and chassis?

Are you able to rock the engine (even slightly)? (obviously when it's not running!)

There should be a small amount of compliance from the various rubber mounts.

Stabiliser bar and it's bushes?

[Fossilface]

Worn balls joints, buckled wheel, fecked drive shaft/cv joint?
