If I'm on the accelerator, the car is fine.
off accelerator, the whole thing feels like it is shaking itself to death.
I've had the whole suspension and exhaust apart and can't figure what I've put back wrongly, it went through the mot ok too.
it looks like the exhaust is pretty much sat on...
Stick a post on Shiply and someone will be able to move it, I have a tow bar on my Astra so if you can find a car trailer close to flitwick, I'll happily help you move it.
