After camshaft, rockers and cambelt replacement in February on my 2008 Freelander 2. I have encountered excessive vibration in the seats and steering wheel. Noticeable more at traffic lights etc in neutral. When I lift the bonnet the engine is definitely vibrating. My mechanic has since replaced 3 engine mounts, but it hasn’t solved the issue. I’m at a loss and so is my mechanic. Any ideas please would be grateful as it is doing my head in. I am going to try some injector cleaner in the morning after reading similar previous posts.

Crankshaft
Thanks for the reply, also it’s worth noting two other things. When accelerating in first gear the engine now sounds loud like a low grunt. When I turn the engine off it makes a small vibration noise it didn’t make before. Would you know if these two would point to timing tooth or injector? The car performs well though at speed, no loss of power on the motorway etc.
