Check rear brakes for excess heat.

it does this when I haven't even touched the brakes thow pal , it sounds a bit like when the suspension compressor kicks in , are the FF's known for the centre UJ on the prop shaft ?? it still puzzles me why its so specific to speed , if I bus along at 80mph , he's smooth and quiet , its really bugging me |

There are lots of threads on vibration, so a search might throw up some suggestions. These include injector problems and wheel weights falling off. I have a recollection that the Td6 was set up for 18" wheels and that bigger wheels could make it vibrate.

I paid specific attention while driving last night , if I keep it at 30 ish MPH I can defo feel it through the throttle / steering / my seat so Im going to have a look at the prop bearing this aft and see if its worn |

well ive just read through a good number of threads mentioning a vibration , only one who found a cure said it was a faulty torque convertor , Im pretty sure that's not my issue , ive had a look an the prop shaft bearing and it doesn't look to degraded but I could move it with just the pressure of my hand , ive seen this bearing fail on other RWD cars and it creates the same symptom mine is displaying but as ever with an FF its not a 2minute job to change it |

I checked my tyres already pal , they are / appear to be ok , im wondering if I can video the prop while driving , would need a remote camera I could mount underneath , there are plenty of place it could sit and I don't need to do more than 35mph hmmm . . . . . . . . . . . . . |

Eliminate the wheel/tyre by swapping with the spare. Then move forward to next item. Blunderbuss approach will not solve this. Defo ! .
