I'd mount the... I mean change the mount motor, no wait change the motor mounts first. If it persists, take the injectors out for testing and cleaning if necessary. They will pump the injector with some fluid and get it to squirt and see the pressure and pattern.

I changed my engine and transmission mounts last weekend. It was quite easy. You do need a floor jack, jack stands, metric hex tools, and metric wrenches. You will spend a lot of time on the floor.

BTW: The mounts did fix the rattle, but didn't fix the rough idle. For rough idle this has worked for me: 1) fuel filter, doesn't work: 2) Diesel Kleen. I know I will need to clean/rebuild/balance the injectors at some point. I think slightly unbalanced injectors when the engine is starved by a clogged filter makes the engine rough.
