At first I thought I must have a flat. I was doing 50mph in 5th gear and there was a vibration coming thru the seat. The engine note seemed pure enough and I could not see or hear anything vibrating. However, I could feel a constant vibration in my legs and bum. What could it be? It wasn't the road surface and it wasn't a flat. Help!

You got a vibrator between your legs?..hehe
How much will that cost to rectify if it is that - roughly?
Not completely but not nearly as bad below 40 or above 60.

I think that before the year is out, the Clio may become the car I have kept for the shortest amount of time ever + the car above will come with warrantee, and MOT and will be smooth and quiet. Think on top of the problems I have had with the Clio in the short time I have had it, I have also well and truly grown out of pocket rocket boy racer cars.

Why did you buy a clio if you wanted smooth and quiet.
Wrong car choice.

Yeah someone's suggested balancing. Why would that just suddenly go awry tho?
As for why did I choose it... well at the time, it was all I could afford that was that new and reasonably low mileage. Plus I fancied having something loud and brash. Unfortunately I've owned a BMW and been spoilt by it. The Clio is fabulous as a noisy little road racing car, but I just don't particularly like it. I think I have grown out of it.

j plate 91 449 valver,
It could well be your wheel balancing. it can suddenly go arwy because wheels can 'throw' weights. i know as i jsut had mine balanced and it threw a weight on its fitrst journey! and my steering wheel suddenly started vibrating! advice would be to go to a local garage to get it balanced as they actually tend to charge less than big companys.

My car [172] developed a strange vibration at 50-60mph, it turned out to be both that driveshafts were knackered.
