So don't drive at 80 until its fixed

Apols! You nearly made me spill my cuppa, LOL.

However, this is fantastic advice and one of the best posts I've seen for weeks!
The solution as per you post is FREE, you can't beat that and the advice is guaranteed to work 100% should the OP
take you advice which I think they have.

I hope you don't mid me asking, are you top flight technician for some racing team, please?


Thanks

The vibration is coming through at speed, about 80mph.

I took the car up to 180mph no problems.

I do hope you were on a racetrack at the time!  And I'd love to know what car from "years ago" could even do 180mph!

Not to worry, thanks.
I've been driving a lot less years than you have, but have driven cars of all prices and have held a racing licence and an advanced drivers license as well as personal protection driver training and driving in may countries and years ago did some HGV driving. I've also had near misses when drivers were driving too fast for the conditions and have slid across the road into my path and my skills have averted a crash. I've also had two blowouts on the motor once hitting metal debris in the ptich black on the M6 that had no lights and another time tyr just blew up there were no tyre pressure moniotrs those days. The cops that arrived said I had exceptional driving skills but I said it was more to do with common sense and driving within the conditions and my limits.

Many thanks.

@diystarter7 Who issues those? The DVLA don't.

No, the same tyres. Two of the wheels had to go back one with a defect in the paint and the other because the TPMS valve was leaking.

Personally I'm going to take to a proper tyre fitter that I trust to check the balance.

What did the ‘proper tyre fitter’ find?
