When in gear I am getting vibrations around the car - not really a knocking sound. More wrrrrrrr. Not a great loss of power but some.

Engine is slightly vibrational at high revs as well. Considering that needs new sparks and oil service (over 10,000 last).

Cleaned the MAS - some improvement in performance.   

Fitted new engine mounts as these had been completely worn.  Did not solve the vibration issue above.

Rear axle subframe bushes are gone and some of the wishbone bushes 

Could this account for vibrations or is it more likely be one of these:

the prop shaft bearing,
clutch/gearbox/ engine fault.

Are there any tests that can be performed to check these components without removal?

Any help appreciated.
