The vibration at 60+ mph had disappeared for a few days but has come back while on a spirited drive.. I'm now looking into the front brake discs being warped as that seems the next best port of call :sick:

Hopefully your R32 calipers and discs will resolve it for you then :driver:

Exactly my thoughts :innocent:
My boyfriend's getting them powdercoated for me as my 21st birthday present, so they won't be on until the start of June.. I'll just need to live with it for now! :ashamed:
Andy:
Could you try your mams wheels again with out the spacers for a day and see if that gets rid of it and try your wheels with out the spacers on you mams and see if the vibration is still thier

I reckon it's the spacers...I had 5mm spacers on my golfR & it had steering wheel vibration,swapped it for 8mm hubcentrics & it's all gone

It's not gonna be warped discs... because if the run out was so big it would cause you issues without being on the brakes then it would cause the car to shake itself to pieces if you went on the brakes.
The issues are either related your spacers or the wheels not being on tightly enough or you are losing wheel weights.
Take the car to a decent tyre shop. Have the wheels balanced and fitted (and torqued).
bet the problem will go away..

I've been trying to diagnose the issue for months - it's been to several different garages and the front wheels have been balanced multiple times but the issue remains. I now don't have the spacers fitted at all as the 205s clear the strut, so this is why I'm at a lost cause. The wheels are 100% on tightly enough as they've been torqued since the wheel incident last weekend :confused: I've literally eliminated all issues with spacers, tyres and wheels but the vibration keeps coming back after a few days of thinking it was fixed. I don't understand what it could possibly be. Warped discs has been suggested by a few people as well as a sticky caliper so I'll find out if either of these are an option when the new brakes go on. No garage has been able to tell me the issue and it's been to a very very reputable one, too. They were baffled :sad1:
