    Vibrations could be an engine mount....

    Sounds definately like a worn engine mount

    dont think so on a v plate 2.0 as i suspect that is a petrol model,pretty sure focus of that vintage only had 1.8 diesel?

    could be caused by a couple of things like worn mount or even a engine running issue like.
