I feel a slight virbration coming through the dreiv train as I move from say, 20km to 50km. It then stops. It comes from either the transmission or engine. It then causes a virbration noise in the plastic cover in headlining (temp gague housing) and under dash. I don't believe its engine mountings or wheel balancing problems but these are yet to be checked. It spoils what I would otherwise consider a 'nice drive'. I have only just purchased this vehicle.
Thanks
Nigel

Do you feel the vibration in the steering or the seat?

Have you tried to rotated the tires to see if the vibration goes away or changes to the opposite end of the car?

That is a good idea. Try the rotation to see if things change.
