Petrols are good,despite what the ignorant loonies will say on here, do a search on your problem though.
It will most likely be either the subframe mountings or a vcu fault.

Well Ive had the car coming on 3 years and never had an engine problem which l think speaks for itself, l have had a look at the VCU, yes l have noticed the shuddering seems to be coming from under the drivers seat area, are they easy to change?

 

[Freelaner]

Vcu is but if it's left too long you will need an ird and that will be expensive/hard to fit for the average diy'er

 

[Marph]

Jeesh l cant believe the price of the VCU, and it might not be that, one more question and l will leave you be can these VCUs come reconditioned or will l need to buy new and do you have any suggestions where l might get it, l'm in London btw. Cheers
