weird  :undecided:

Can you rock the engine back and forth by hand?

nope, you thinking engine mounts ?

I was until you said that  :undecided:  Does the engine cover move alot when the car is idling? Could be some of the mounting points for the cover are loose causing it to vibrate and move

The engine cover is solid on the mounts, i think its the engine what's shaking it self so because the covers connected to it the cover's shaking like mad

That to me indicates a knackered mount of some sort  :undecided:

Just been outside and given my engine a good rocking to double check and there dose seams to be a little bit of play back and forth on the passenger side not a lot.
