Vibration thru the steering wheel and on the brake when touched lightly. [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Usually more at higher speeds though, not so much around town. [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/033102bad_1_prv.gif[/img]

Thanks. Sounds too familiar [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
Is this a warranty issue, or is it classed as wear and tear ?

Took mine to the dealer with warped discs, they took it under a sort of "being nice guarantee". The 1-year guarantee was past ; but as the car was bought in Germany and imported to Switzerland (as Swiss allotment was too small...) they made me pay a third of the price. Okay deal, I think.
