At the time I thought it was just the road surface and didn't take much notice of it, now every time I accelerate under heavy load through 1st-3rd the same thing happens and either I've never noticed it before or it's literally just happened. Anyway just wondering if anyone has had the same issue and what was done to rectify it? I'm also going to book it back into the dealer tomorrow so they can have a look at it. Thanks in advance for your replies! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94565-vibration-under-heavy-load/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its constant through the whole rev range however the higher the gear the less noticeable it is Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94565-vibration-under-heavy-load/#findComment-1673047 Share on other sites More sharing options...
