Question

Just intreged now:
I've noticed for a while that when i have my foot fully on the clutch i can feel a slight sorta wobble thru the engine as it's turning over every now & then, i just put this down 2 the engine being such a beast However m8 at work who does no his mechanically things, although is also a bit of a clutz so not convinced fort i'd try the infinite knowledge of scoobynet, said have u got a misfire when he noticed the door did tremour a tad while the engine was idleing.
As i say it's not something i had really worried about b4 but could this be a misfire or sumin or is this just normal, go on reassure me

Don't worry. The engine's an in lane flat four. The torque is transmitted along the central axis of the car which means it will 'wobble' a bit from side to side as the pistons fire on one side and then the other. Tell your mate he's a plank.
