Bar the little steering shakes she was lovely sat at 65-70mph.
I'm 99% sure my steering shuiddering is a CV joint, if your just cruising and not steering you don't get any vibrations at all. As soon as you accelerate or decelerate you get vibrations and if your turning at the same time then they get worse. Nothing to worry about then :)
did u come up my way?? ie past llanelli???
Yehh, did it by accident actually. Thought I'd go for a 5 minuite run, by the time I figured out what was causing my wobbly wheel I hit Pont Abraham :lol:

"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

That sounds a bit dodgy :frown: I suppose it could save someone the bother of guessing a vin for a 406. Excuse me while I go modify quite a few posts :(

Btw anyone that wants to use my VIN to do illegal stuff in the UK, help yourself :cheesy:

its not the vin numbers that need editing mate,

anything with a test station reference number is dangeraus in the wrong hands,
you can print off all the cars mots with a test station number and reg number,

take the printed off stuff into a shop and Bingo 2 plates,

vin number alone wont pull up to much info on a car

Unless they can use Service Box...

It's all done anyway, it only took 5 minutes and it's probably better to be safe that lorry.
