When at idle and at approx 2000rpm my car vibrates - badly. At all other rev's the car does not vibrate at all. Any ideas peeps?

Dont most diesels vibrate a lot when idling... like when u sit on a bus at the bus stop... its shaking like mad.
Its cos diesels dont stall so it just vibrates as if its about to stall but just continues to tick over.... is that not what the problem is?
If not, then forgive me for my amateurishness

Could be flywheel problem, very common in the diesels, no other symptoms yet??

Well the gear change is rather stiff (may be just because im used to the 106's sloppy gear box)
I't definetly vibrates more then a normal diesel would (dad has one) how much would i be looking at for a new flywheel?

Gear change stiff also indicates engine mounts loose or failing
