Did you buy genuine MB/Febi mounts? I've had new engine mounts on mine and its made a big difference, the whole car would shake before on tick over and now its rock solid. |

The idle is a little lumpy,if you sit at traffic lights,every 5-6 seconds the rev needle will drop a smidgen then recover,nothing serious maybe 50-100 revs at most.Then shaking is constant at tickover.Above 1500 revs it's smooth |

Check your cylinder pressures. They should all be as near as possible the same and above 140psi. |
