Misfiring engine? Coil pack?

Is it a petrol engine?

scotty1971

yes a petrol engine,is there a possibility it could be coming from one of the rear wheels?

There's it judder when idling? Does the judder increase under acceleration or in too low a gear?
Can it be felt in the back?
Can it be felt in the drivers seat?

I could be something as simple as the passenger side wheel needs balancing.

Is there any unver wear on any tyres?

Please give us a fuller picture

it can be felt in the back and the passengers seat,not so much the drivers, the back tyre on the passengers side is worn more than the other 3.

Could it be a bearing gone?

arcon5

Worn evenly though or wearing around the edge or central part or something?
Is there any noises? Unusual swishing or anything?

Your really not giving anybody much to go on

When????. When moving or stationary?. Does it change with speed?, when cornering?. Give us a clue!.

The rear tyre has a massive bulge, is underinflated, unbalanced, and is about to explode, but just before it does, the rear wheel bearing, dodgy rear shock, broken spring, worn suspension bushes, knocking exhaust, knackered gear box, dodgy DMF, and misfiring engine, will probably be the cause.

(I've had all these faults over the years and all pretty much fit into your first post.)

when moving,all the time.not when stationary

Does it vary in severity with speed?

Get it balanced and see how you get on. Probably cost a tenner if you find a local place.
