howdy guys n girls,

mate of mine just bought a 2003 1.0 active wit full elec pack. its done 17K miles but it vibrates a hell of a lot when idling at around 1000 revs. its really not normal. anybody know what's causing it?

cheers.

when you say vibrating a lot is it verry bad or just vibrating a little bit because all 1 litres do it even mine. if you check the condition of the engine mount as well because they have rubber in them to dampen the vibrations and the rubber could be split making it feel like its vibrating a lot

Its a 1.0l it only has 3 cylinders. You'll have to get use to it. Also check for re-calls, if thats still needed the timing chain replaced with a belt that'll make it very slightly better.

could be an engine mount

I dont really think the interior light can make the whole car shake...

i don't mean making the whole car shake i mean rattleing in side the car if it is out side it could be catching on something mine does it everonce and a while but only when i'm down hill and with my front brakes on but don't know what it could be but my mate is a micanic and he's having a look at it tonight for me so we will see what comes of it and i'll let you all know

My 1.0L does it, nothing you can do about it its just how they are.
