Old fuel, wrong mix, crook plug. check those first.

quite likely a crank seal, and therefore a crankcase full of transmission oil if it's 'just started doing it'

Make sure your exhaust is clear of carbon or mason bees.

put a new plug in it. the difference between a 'cleaned' and a new plug is often astronomical.
Put a new plug in and I bet your problem disappears.

Nasty fine vibration in my Rover sd1 v8 very hard to diagnose. Drive chain is all good, vibration is constant, even when standing still. Worse at some revs than others - can be felt through steering wheel and gear lever. Engine runs sweet. So, Could it be Flywheel out of balance!Vibration damper!, crank pulley!, alternator!, crankshaft!, bent con rod even! (injector hydraulicking can do that so I'm told) Where do I start looking! Any tips out there!

+1, ah fond memories of those poxy bees, took me a while to figure out to check the exhaust, busy little buggers don't waste time clogging up the works!
