as per title, there is a noticeable judder on idle, no smoke or anything and it drives smooth, but when idling its shaking the car, not violently, but enough to notice?

 

just that and a power steering pipe left to sort out for my old man, and he can take ownership of the car once i hear back from the insurance (seem to be taking their time on that one) faulty injector maybe?

mine does this, but its very very small, only noticeable if you're at the traffic light for a while... sitting quietly, the RPM needle stays solid, no fluctuation or jumping

 

maybe its in my head

What do you idle at????

Around 750 - 800 As MCM says The needle just sits there no waving or random jumping when idling, hell if you didn't feel it you wouldn't know

Slightly worn or unbalanced prop? I've also had the juddering when my MAF got wet.

New update on this, was out in Kettering today getting the underside of the car checked over (damn spotless) and lost a cylinder on the passenger side, so pulled in at a lay-by, noticed when i wiggled the PTU connector the car almost died, limped it home, took the PTU off and cleaned the connectors on the fat end connector, other side was fine and so clean, anyway, car now idles smooth as hell and has all cylinders back. amazing what a bit of sand paper can do.

You got another zed?
