Thanks guys, well yes it may be shocks as it has non standard Terrafirmas which in my opinion aren't great....... The only other clue, is when the guys did the ball joints, for couple of weeks the problem seemed to be cured, but maybe I didn't hit a big enough bump.... Adam how do I check that...

Thanks very much, but I had a bit of a fiddle this afternoon and on Keith's suggestion I swapped the fronts and rears, unfortunately scary shudder still there (took it up the M1 to J5), couldn't be arsed to climb underneath to check the panhard bushes after hauling the wheels around, taking it...

Buy it..........

No I get that...... the image isn't there, but they are so good, I once went to Paris in my friend's and picked up my ex girlfriend's entire flat!!! I'm seriously considering one once I get my car fixed and sold.....

What about the Volvo XC90, my friend has one I occasionally borrow, full size car, very comfy and in ten years he's had a wheel bearing go and the turbo hose split, otherwise fault free

Hi Adam No it doesn't come through the steering wheel, it is a definite up and down motion All a bit overwhelming but from memory I pull on to the hard shoulder and slow almost to a stop to halt the shaking, not quite a full stop but I'm guessing about 20-10mph. Braking does not stop the...

A little off the wall but my car had had a BECM unit changed and this was telling the gearbox that the car had a V8, as a consequence the car was painful up hills. A very kind and knowledgeable gentleman on the forum met me locally put the car on his diagnostic equipment and discovered this...

The only thing about that is as I've mentioned I have been on these tyres without issue for many motorway miles, it is honestly so severe, I know these are big lumps of rubber but I just can't envisage it

WSR, I didn't do the RA bushes but the guys who did know what they're doing and yes I asked them about Preload on the ball joints so can't seeing being that Keith, this is so severe that I just can't see it being a tyre fault and the tyres were o the car for may miles without a problem, I am...

Spiggy, thanks but not that Saint........ Ah, very possibly as that's how bad it feels......how on earth do i check those??

Hi I have had this problem for about 6 months now and haven't posted about it. When the car hits a pothole or even relatively small bump at speed, the car explodes into a violent shudder, things fly around the cabin, i have to brake and come off the motorway. This is needless to say both...

I would say you should have bought a soulless nap Mine has cost me 8k all in but I bought it as a renovation project but I have had a lot of issues, I guess it is now how I would have wanted to buy it but for like 4k!! Plus with the cost of fuel 4.0 would not have been my first choice. Keep...

Keep your BMW...........

Had it done recently by my specialist, they didn't charge much for it and apparently not a big deal, but I guess all the right kit helps, ramps lifts etc

For the scary stuff I use Cranbourne Garage, Potters Bar. I'm not sure what the charge was as it was rolled in with other stuff but I would guess about 2-3 hours a side making it around the £400 mark?? Their number is 01707 643821

I'm in Mill Hill, North London

Just had mine done, car drives much better. sent to specialist didn't have the guts or inclination to DIY this one

Great, Many thanks for the information.

Thanks everyone, hard to say Keith, not noticeable, but since I have owned the car there is always a load of clicking from the valve block (I assume) after I lock it/close the door. As Tony says the valve block may need an overhaul, I used to pull my own diving regulators apart (and never...

Hi The EAS has been very well behaved on my 2001 Diesel for 2 years now. However on occasion the 'access' light stays on and the 'standard height' light flashes for a few minutes after start up sometimes, its sorts itself out but just have a couple of questions. 1. what is this...
