Freelander vibrates on tickover

Started last night when driving all of a sudden it went very vibey and can feel it all the time I did unplug my maf sensor the other day as had loss of power and it made it.loads better could this be the problem?

I'm assuming it's a TD4?

Is the MAF still unplugged?

Yea td4 yes still unpluged at the minute it ran good without it.for a week now vibrating badly.

Could be the crank shaft pulley - they have a rubber damper between the inner and outer elements which delaminates. If its dark, shine a torch on it while the engine is running and see if there are and shiny flecks of metal floating around.

Just drove it to the garage and its gone away now strangely

Engine mounts ?
Is the vibration frequency related to the engine speed? If not is it road speed dependant?

It went away but seems to come on when I turn full lock one way and then disapeares when drive down the road a bit mainly noticable on stamd still

Defo check the main pulley as it turns the PAS pump

Sounds like the damper pulley has de-laminated.
I've not really noticed an increase in engine vibration when they have failed. This is why they are difficult to detect on occasion. Most of the time there is a just a noise when at full lock or when the AC is on.
