Bad vibrations.

Possibly a dual mass flywheel on the way out, if it starts to break up then it'll be unbalanced causing vibration.

Not sure the petrols had DMFs, in 240000 miles never had that problem on my '99 1.8 petrol, but then I never had to change the clutch either.

1000rpm is high for a warm idle - should be nearer 875-900 (can't remember the exact figures), but will be higher if cold.

As others have said, I'd be looking at engine mounts - could be that at idle it's just hitting the wrong frequency and it's setting up a resonation path.
