It started on sunday while coming off a roundabout accelerating in 3rd and 4th around 2500-3000 rpm the car shook violently and the gearstick was transmitting massive shakes through the car.
I stopped and checked wheels and wheel nuts etc, and it was all fine,and suspension seemed fine and headed back home slowly.
When i got to about 2500k in third it started again and shakes got worse till past 3500k and it was fine.
Sitting in 5th at 70mph it was also fine, but only around those revs in lower gears.
Now the car itself is driving fine, and even though it was shaking it pulled fine and wasnt misfiring etc, which leads me to believe it is an engine mount, but which one? The two either side of the engine at the top seem fine, so could it be the lower one, or is it something else I havent noticed.
Cheers

Chances are if it is a mount it will be the rear/lower mount. It's a bit pricey though because it comes with a bearing for the driveshaft to go through. Good old citroen decided to make an all in one mount/ bearing housing "gaauuuud bles 'em!"
It's about £50 / £60 to buy. I have heard of people pressing out the old mount and replacing it, but what is used as the replacement I don't know??? M
Mine has gone soft through oil contamination, and with a bit of clutch judder as well, it makes for interesting hill starts[:D]!

The rear engine mount is available separately as a Peugeot part for under ten pounds, you may have to order it for an imaginary peugeot (The part is common to many models) the old bush will come out after cutting through the steel outer ring (I use a big hammer and a sharp chisel) and then a bench vice to press the new one in,
The lower mount disc is available from GSF p/n N10126 for just £3.75 +vat!
On my ZX TD I had some vibration problems, and upon removing the top engine mounting bracket when changing the timing belt I discovered that the mount below had broken in two! A new one cured the problem.
If you have the same problem the top RH mount is GSF N10141 and its £10.00 +vat.
