Hi, My 2002 TDCi also feels like new after 97000. There are two causes of vibration that I have heard, the first one my car had a slight case of though it was easily fixed, a drumming type vibration at idle caused by oscillation of the auxilliary belt, new belt, pulley and tensioner requ, as I say this is at idle and is from the off side, right side so unlikely to be your issue.

The other problem I have heard of is to do with the intercooler pipe work vibrating against it's surroundings, a Ford dealer will be aware of this and should advise a simple fix.

Also have a look at the forums on:

Let us know how you get on.
