i have a 2.0 x type diesel and have a wobble when accelorating in 4 and 5 on the motor way any idea's

doesn't seem to do it any other time , have had wheels balanced and there fine ,seems odd but need help

Hi Richard, and welcome to the club.

 

I had a similar experience with a Rover Sterling automatic some years ago and found that a front tyre was the problem.

 

Similarly with my X type after a pothole incident --  a new pair of front tyres and the tracking corrected cures it.

 

Regards,

 

Peter,

 

P.S.  My X type was the same colour as yours  ---   suits the car!

hi richard a very warm  welcome

i think peter has pointed you in the right direction

Not related to Jaguar in particular but tracking is always the first thing to do and mine need doing to  :(

Hi Steve,

 

Tracking is a very important little job that I am willing to spend £30 on every now and then, and certainly every time I get new tyres.

 

Peter.

thanks all i will have the tracking done as i have noticed that my steering whell is just a little off set

thanks already had them balanced and they were ok the wobble / vibration is throught the whole car but only when doing 50+ and putting my foot down

Hi Richard,

 

Having got the obvious reasons for the wobble out of the way, Jim has suggested the other possible reasons for it  ---  tyre or rim.  Worth checking out.

 

Pater.

wobble seems to be sorted turned out to be the drive shaft but since then i have found out i need a wheel can anyone tell me what wheels these are as can't seem to findone any where

posting pictures in my profile

found out they are bermuda alloy's just need to find one resnabaly priced lol

 hi Richard

                they go on flea bay from around £150 - £200  or you can get some good second hand ones  with a few kerb marks etc from £50 upwards
