Hey has anyone had this issue where the accelerator pedal vibrates when driving, and everytime you go over a bump you feel if through the pedal?
it's very annoying
many thanks
Tom

I think Unit 20 have replacement bush kits.

Very common problem - and no risk or damage implied.
Unit 20 can do you a replacement bush kit to fix, or MRC have a way of cable tieing the pedal box to eliminate it too.

Spoke to Unit 20 and they will only supply and fit, which is understandable, but they are around 4 hours drive away, so i guess i'll speak to Mrc, unless anyone has a picture of how it is zip tied and i can just do it

If you have a look at the pedal box I think you could work out where they cable tie. Not had it done on mine, but think it's the brake pedal.

As mentioned, many of us have experienced this. I had MRC do their cable tie magic and 2+ years on no problem.

Well I have found someone who has had it done, I'll look at the pedals and pedal box and see what's been done and post a pic and see if I can do it

But why do you need to tie them when they are already in the lotion pit? Surely the lotiion allows easy slipping out of said ties?

Because I'm not making a woman skin suit.

That's no way to raise a child.

A child? Maddy likes to think of herself as a young woman now. Besides, I'm not worried about her, it's the other 200 that are causing me issues...

200. So that's the real reason you purchased an avant.
