Not really worried about it at the moment,(to cold to work on car in this weather) but every time that I accidently exceed the speed limit and head into the 80s a vibration starts,Steering is unaffected,seems to be prop shalf?, why would it suddenly appear.
Any other ideas,please.

could be as simple as a wheel out of balance or a warped tyre, does the steering wheel shake or the car shake ect

An old tyre man i know once told me, "Any Shaking under 60 front wheels, after 60 rear wheels need balancing or tyre defect." Pretty good advise I found

Have to agree, that's exactly what it was with mine, rear tyre defect.

Wow....Timely advice...I have the same problem...but it kicks in at about 105    SO...I ain't too bothered at the moment.....not till I set out for the autobahns ?

Will get the rear wheels checked at some point.

Gawd only knows how you've lived to be a 104 if you drive like that!

Thanks for your inputs,I'll get the wheels balanced as soon as I can,hope that will sort it.

if possible, try and find somewhere with a far more accurate 5 stud balancer, as oposed to the more common cone balancer.

Had a similar problem until a rear tyre exploded at 75mph on the M40
Suggest you get cause identified & rectified PDQ!

I agree. For your own sake get the tyres checked out ASAP. Might also be Shocks, or Prop Shaft. Is it a high or low frequency vibration?

Might even be the rim is distorted if you've walloped a pothole.
