WELCOME NEWBIE ! .
First things first , it needs periodic valve adjustment else it'll shake like a paint mixed .
if it's really oily under the hood the motor mounts may well be shot too as Diesel contaminated oil attacked rubber and plastic fast , this is why it's so important to keep after the oil weeps & seeps and always shampoo your engine a couple times a year .
You're going to need some bent 14 MM open end wrenches to affect the valve adjustment , a new rockerbox gasket too .

Just getting familiar with the mercedes and have had no other experience with them.A new to me 84 300D vibrates very loudly at idle.
It is so noticeable that the sunroof is making a loud hum.
I just got the car started this weekend. Owner had said the trans quit working and had lost the ign key.
I picked up a key and ign at the junk yard and added some trans fluid since it was about 1.5 quart low.
car seems it will drive fine now but have only drove it in the yard so far.
when it is at idle there vibration all over the car so anything that will make a noise or hum does so.
Rev the car up and the hum goes away.
It is possible I just need to idle the car up.
It kind of reminds me of the vibration I felt in a TR6 I had when driving and it turned out to the a drive shaft to rearend U joint.
But with the 300D the vibration is at idle in park.
Has any one seen this before?
I have not checked motor mounts nor have I checked transmission mounts.
