Hope it is just a wheel needs balancing.
On Friday had the 2 front tyres replaced so on Monday will try and find garage down here that can do it..

Pain being stuck to no more than 80mph.

Only 250 miles to go......

I buy my tyres mail order in France, and then use the network of fitters approved by the company. They'll have one near you - but facilities vary from one to the next.

Many have full four wheel tracking, balancing etc.
Good luck

Hi Chris.

Thanks for the tip - went to one of the garages on the site but only by appointment so popped round the corner to a 'Roady' and got done straight away (32 Euro's for all four wheels balanced).
Managed to get it up to 70 on the D road and no noticeable shake so hopefully all sorted now
