vibrations at 3k rpm + no power steering

[CLIO-Si]

cars finally going again and been test driven,

just had it moving and a very short drive,allowing for things to be seized as its been sitting for 3 months like grinding brakes,slightly knocking suspension but somethings not right...

it seems like somethings not working and im rather concerned what things it could be,
im thinking the gearbox, clutch-flywheel or even engine/g-box mounts could have a part in the vibration thing.

the steering is awfull its like the powersteering pump could be faulty/sticking or f*cked, but when the revs are used with the steering its slightly better.

ive had the car into a carpark 100m away then turned and came back and there was slight kinda knocking/crunch from engine/gearbox, power steering wasnt really working,

i got it back into the drive and got the car lifted on stands at the front and checked the movement threw the steering turn which seems fine its like it just doesnt have the strength when the tyres are on the ground.
theres a slight ticking from inside the box on the underside at idle and when going threw the gears with wheels off the ground its juddering at around 3k rpm,

im looking for any imput which could held me cross of things which this could be,

car went threw gearbox change at xmas time and only the diamond shape mount was changed which makes me wish that new mounts are needed and not another box

any imput will be grately recieved thanks.

there seems to be a bit of play in the drivers-side top mount and loud click from between my sparks and the air intake on top of the engine at back.

thinking now that my noise could be a cambelt or something in the engine cover begining to play up.
would this be making the engine give off vibrations and movement,

in the last year the gearbox has gone then the clutch with trying to move the car onto the trailer with the messed up gearbox,
it then got new gearbox+clutch and under the battery gearbox mount,
3 weeks after it was running again the diff circlip came loose and driveshaft bearings got stripped,
i think that threw the year the engine mounts will have been under alot of strain with the box going then the repair process and the driveshaft going all will have given the mounts pressure,
apart from the possibility that mounts gone there is a cambelt area noise and the drivers side strutt top engine mount is giving movement,

car is year 2000,84k no history of nothing,
im thinking mounts+belts???price and fitting price.

signs of belts and engine mounts going?

checked power steering fluid?
If it's got no belt history, then no-one will buy it, and you probably shouldn't drive it so I'd get the belts done sharpish.
If you can get them done at a specialist (birchdown/GDi/Ktec) they may also be able to tell you what's wrong with the rest of this car. It's really hard to tell from what your saying. As you say it's been standing for too long and it's making all sorts of noises etcetc.
