Vibration through car
Odd it seems worse on overrun, could it be some sort of misfire/timing issue? I'd get it to a dealer asap.

Normally I'd suggest some diagnostic effort to pinpoint it to engine, gearbox, wheels/tyres, bearing, brakes/disks etc. but in this instance from what you say and mileage I'd give my best guesses that it's driveline or suspension and between gearbox and tyres
More help if you can say the type of vibration (deep drone, wobble, etc. Can you feel it in steering wheel, the body or through the seat? Does gentle braking affect it?
I'll assume wheel nuts correctly torqued..
So without further diagnosis I'd start with:
Rear tyres out of balance (people tend to assume fronts only)
Alignment inc. other than toe in/out (Set up on a Hunter system)
Bent rim (won't always be picked up by balancing tyres)
Wheel bearing as stated previously
Damaged or bent suspension member, bushes ARB links, etc.

On my car I'd be jacking it up and feeling each wheel in turn for play, free rotation any odd feel to it

Put into dealer, car was purchased from them as an approved car 3 months ago. They want to take the exhaust off to investigate further but say it’s not under warranty and I need to pay over £400. They can’t say though if this is the problem.... the reassurance of buying an approved car....
Shouldn’t matter about warranty. Sales of goods act / consumer protection (2015) should cover it anyway. If it’s within 6 months of purchase the onus is on the dealer to prove that the fault wasn’t there at the time of purchase. They should either repair it free of charge or find you a replacement vehicle (unlikely)gfoxsteve wrote: ↑Sat Jul 06, 2019 6:38 pm Put into dealer, car was purchased from them as an approved car 3 months ago.
