Swapped the tyres over on the 75 so now has a good tyre (back to a matching set of 4) and good rim on the NSF (£15, very reasonable IMO) but the vibration persists, its really bad, even the door pins rattle above 40mph. It almost certainly feels like a tyre but I'm unclear which one. I do know that the tyre Ive put back on went flat for a bit, possibly a flat spot that will iron out with use? They are all less than a year old so Id have thought they be malleable.

Good news is the flapping noise has gone. There was a small triangular section of undertray at the OS corner which was loose but flapping up the way at 30mph. 2 cable ties and no more of that noise and I also don't need to worry about the gearbox!

Ive put it away for now as the battery is very weak and needs replaced and I think its going to need tyres too. Perhaps a set of reasonably priced Starspokes will come up nearby.

Not an engine mounting is it? Theres a hydraulic (hydramount?) that fails.

New 'crash for cash' scam it seems reported. Not sure how prevalent but worth noting:

Depends just how holey, I guess...

I think “The lower half of your car has fucked off”, would be a serious fault.
