Default 100 mph vibration

Hi
Had my scoob for a few days now. Theres a vibration that occurs at 100mph. Its doesnt tail off as you go faster but doesnt seem to get worse. Its under warrenty, and the dealer has tried different wheels, tires, but doesnt solve the problem. They are now talking about an inbalance in the prop. Just wondered if anyone else has ever come accross this? Its a 99 uk turbo.

Cheers

You should be the first then with an out-of-balance prop (unless there was a crash of course).
I had similar problems, but it was more a droning noise then a vibration.
On my car it was the exhaust hat was mounted to tight in his rubbers and made contact with the chassis.

Hope this helps,

Creepy

It might also might be a wheel balance problem if not the prop. I have had wheels go out of balance after x'000 mile and cause a vibration at speed.
