Default 2002 CDT Tourer Steering Wheel Vibration

I can't seem to eliminate the steering wheel vibration at idle from my CDT. So far I have replaced the lower mount and the hydromount with new stock from DMGRS and tighted the steering column adjustment lever but no improvement. I also get a harsh vibration eminating from the engine bay when I accelerate up a hill with a full load in the car, if I back off the pedal, it eases. I also replaced the crank pulley with a freelander spec one from DMGRS! When the engine is cold and in drive at lights etc the whole wheel is a noisy blur!! On the move - smooth and silent.

What are the symptoms of a worn gearbox mount, mind you as there was virtually no improvement after changing the other 2 mounts, I wouldn't be hopeful to get any major improvment from changing that!

Even if I change the steering column I can still see it shaking but maybe without as much noise.

Is this an inbuilt design issue or has anyone truly solved this?

Cheers

Alan
