Default Violent juddering under acceleration

Hi guys. 2.2d sport
When accelerating the car judders and the whole cabin wobbles side to side.
At first I thought it was the road surface but it's not
Wheels arnt very old
Also what can cause the glow plug light to come on. Use to come on if I went past 3000 rpm but decat and egr delete has sorted that but now it will randomly come on and take afew attempts of off and in to get rid of it.
Car is on 260k

Sounds like ROGER has the right idea of blaming the CV joint bearings.

In my past experience I have badly worn cv joints knock and clonk, I've bad the front of the car up and checked the normal up and down and side yo side wobble on wheel and nothing, I was wondering if it's coming from my rear end, haven't had time yet to check it all over
