The TD5 engine does have a vibration but usually more like @2250 rpm i think. This may just be a 5 cylinder engine being a bit out of balance at this engine speed.
don't think it is much to worry about.
As you can see form this, others seem to see it at thsi speed and others at both your speed and even other speeds!

I honestly wouldn't worry about it!

Flywheel potentially, even if its an SMF thats been put in as they obviously aren’t factory fit on a Td5. Other one is centrifugal filter which if off balance, could cause vibrations. But mine vibrates at 2k and so do many others. Its not severe but just perceptible if you are looking for it. It was bad when i first got it, but a new centrifugal filter made it a lot better.

Mine's an auto, don't know how much difference that makes!
Check handbrake as well. In my case that was the root cause (i had vib around 2700-3000).

I have changed the spring kit, shoes and cable as well and the problem solved. It was about 2 years ago and since the car is running sweet!Loose?
Drum warped?
Give us a clue!!
As I have changed several parts I can not 100% confirm what has caused the problem but probably the shoes.
I can feel it in park so it eliminates the drivetrain/handbrake drum (thanks though)
I have just ordered a harmonic damper AKA crankshaft pulley as I read about the 'tell tale squeak on engine shutdown' which it has always had. Visually it looks ok but it's time for the parts cannon to come out
I'll update once I've had a chance to fit it

Try a Contitech belt first before bothering with the pulley.

No sorry, just the squeaking. This vibration thing is common it seems, but i would guess its a variety of things.
When you say feel it in park, does it mean that the handbrake applied? As I remember I also had the vibration in park but when pulled handbrake it changed. I think, even the car is not moving, the handbrake cable can transfer some vibration from the engine to the cabin.
You can check it very easily, while driving and having the vibration, carefully lift the handbrake lever (just one click or even less) just to put some tension to the cable. That was the way how I found it.
