THe vibration is felt through the seat , and not at all through the steering wheel , which I find really odd . Wouldn't this rule out wheels / suspension ?

The symptoms vanish below 70 .
I dont have a local Dealer , so to narrow things down - Any ideas ?

I would have the rear wheels balanced, if you feel vibration through the seat and floor, it cured mine Dave

i had the same problem,local tyre dealer told me that you dont balance rear wheels,idiot,so i went to another who balanced them and now its fine apart from a very very slight rumble on occasions.....

Thanks all
looks like the rear wheel balance / tyres are an easy place to start .
