Hopefully so, i did get it up on 4stands and put weight on the 4 suspension corners so it was like being on ride height unplugged an abs sensor so it wouldnt interfere and got the girlfriend to hold the brake and keep it at vibration point and went under and everything looks too be running true

Does the vibration cone up through the seat rather than the steering wheel? If so I would be leaning towards prop-shaft.
 
I may have missed something but did you mean you had the car running up on 4 stands in gear running and you went underneath it to check for vibration????

Don't worry, the "stands" were engineering bricks so unlikely to crack. The trick is to stack them on the thin end so there are less bricks and therefore less chance of one failing. Besides, it is months since anything chest-crushingly heavy landed on him pinning him to the floor so no chance of it happening again so soon.
 
Friday night, two blood runs covering about 100 miles.
Yesterday I replaced the faulty heater control valve
Today, borrowed a trailer and did a trial run with one of my bikes on the back so that I can confidently take it for MOT this week and get it up for sale/swap (the bike not the car).

Niece, 8 yo, never seen Otto before. We were leaving, fired him up, he popped from the stops to access height. 'Look Mummy! It went up!'.
Popped him to motorway, then standard heights to squeaks of excitement.
Popped him to extended, cry from niece 'It will be flying soon!'
 
Yesterday went to the LRR festival near by. Lovely weather, some lovely examples, no luck with parts, but got a replacement torque wrench (one broke the day before, so it was meant to). Pub after. Since it was a nice day, went around Salisbury planes. Washed it today. Will need another wash, it was a bit muddy yesterday.

Yeah well on a ramp and then lowered onto stands on the rear lower arms and at the front so it sat at normal rideheight, between a 3t lift and 4 stands to take the suspension hang it wasnt going anywhere,

Oh no im not going through that again, it was on a 2post ramp that had the weight of the motor, air suspension empty and used the stands on the lower arms to hold the wheels up in the arch at normal ride height,
 
New center support bearing since it was the easiest thing,
1100 miles later still vibrating
And sometimes a front cv joint started clicking on full lock,
Then one of the downward facing balljoint started creaking its driven me mental typical of this bloody motor it starts on a friday and nothing avaliable till monday
Already annoyed with it today turn it off bing check front light,

Think it needs replaced and weighed in soon tbh,
