Lumpy idle when warm

Evening All,
 
1st post so be gentle with me.
 
We have had a 2006 C-Max with the 1.8 duratorq engine for a couple of years and it's been a great family car.
 
Recently when the engine is hot the idle causes the whole car to rock/shake, so much so it actually make the car an unpleasant place to be (freaks out son out).
 
Car has just had a full service to see if that could help, the garage added a fuel system cleaner to see if that would help, no change.
I've also cleaned the EGR valve and associated mechanism with one change.
 
So I was wondering if anyone has any ideas what could be causing this? Could it be something as simple as a worn out engine mount or something more serious?

In normal driving the car drives well and pulls strongly which is what's so confusing.
 
Thanks in advance,
 
David

    Is it a misfire type lumpiness or is it just the engine rocking if thelater then it could be an engine mount, your garage doesnt sound very helpful.
