Does it vibrate whilst the car's stationary when you rev it? or when its moving or under breaking?

very slight vibration at Idle when not in gear but that is normal Mini I think........ no vibration under braking, did think it could be the discs warped but no vibration under braking will rule that out I guess.......

not really sure if I rev it out of gear I will have to try and see

Answers is yes the steering wheel does vibrate when I rev the car

Think it could be the poly bushes??

I have now decided that the vibration is directly linked to engine revs so it must be the poly bushes I have fitted, been looking on the Mini Spares site for a week now but the rubber upgrade bushes they do are always out of stock, does anyone know of an alternative supplier of a decent rubber bush?

Id be considering putting a piece of rubber in the bolt mount to the lower dash rail, to absorb the vibration.

Did think about that, but wasn't sure if it would be a bit cowboy

o.k how do I get those security bolts undone?

With difficulty ! Either file two flats on it so you can get a spanner/molegrips on it or hacksaw a slot in the end so you can use a big screwdriver.
