    Vibrating Steering Wheel

    sounds like the front wheels need balancing mate. about a tenner at most tyre fitting centres. i also had the similar problem caused by a fooked propshaft uj but that was noticable at much lower speed. ie above 15mph. hope this helps.

    disco headache

    cheers mate should have said earlier that all propshaft donuts and uj's were changed 4 weeks ago. 1 uj was completely dead and it didn't seem worth taking the prop off for that and not doing all the other associated components.

    disco headache

    if it is the gearbox is it likely that i could repair it myself i trained as a mechanic for three years when i left school so i'm quite competent, but never stripped a gearbox. thats oldschool stuff they don't teach anymore nowadays its just replace the complete unit.
