Hello. I'm after a bit of advice regarding some recent issues I've had with my '07 Bravo T-Jet 150. It has 86k miles on the clock.
On a long motorway journey about a 3 weeks ago, I started experiencing a droning noise throughout the car and vibration that felt like it was coming through the steering wheel. I had my cruise control set to 70mph and the noise/vibration gradually got louder and louder. The noise was relieved by dipping the clutch (knocking off the CC), but it started gradually increasing in volume about 30 seconds later after setting the CC again. If I put my foot on the accelerator, the vibration gets more severe.
The noise can be best described as driving on (for those of you who know it) the stretch of Motorway on the M1 just north of the M62 where the road surface must be made of concrete or something.
This week, I had the bearings replaced in the gearbox presuming this was the issue since I have the notorious M32 box. This has addressed a few other gremlins relating to noises, but this has not sorted the above issue.
I've searched through the forum for symptoms that match my experience but the only match is here, but there are no answers. Fingers are pointing at the DMF and I really hope it isn't that. I don't want to end up throwing good money after bad.
I would appreciate any advice or suggestions
