    there is a weird vibration when accellerating, but slowly dissapears the faster i go, seems to be coming from under the steering wheel platics or something, any body got any suggestions on what could be loose, cheers

    check your tyres, tyre pressures, wheels and alignment

    double check the lower engine mount - especially if it's worse at idle.

    Engine mounts are sound. Clutch is slightly high so cud it be the clutch making it judder when pulling off

    it's just when pulling away? What happens when you blip the throttle or apply is slowly when the car is stationary?

    only vibrates when moving away, when changing up down gears its not bad at all, but seems so obvious now
