--- Quote from: "Thrasher" ---The bonnet on the Discovery floats. They all do that. Mine popped up at 70mph on the M1/M6 junction. I had to cross 5 lanes to get to the hard shoulder and I couldn't see!!

3 days later I hat bonnet pins.

Damn lucky it didn't break the screen.

A mate of mine had that happen with a Scoob and it went straight into the windscreen showering him with glass, but he was at the business end of 120 at the time!

JD LWB:
I've got exactly the same problem (wheel wobble at 55 - 60).  Everything was fine until I swapped the front left wheel for the spare (it had a rip in the sidewall and i was going to get it fixed the next day).  As soon as I hit 55 with the spare on (same tyre, rim, etc and balanced) I got the wobble, so I got it re-balanced and it didn't cure the problem. :?  

After reading this post, I think it might be a slightly buckled rim (I'll get it checked out tomorrow and let you know).

Big Watty:
It's probably the tyres themselves

I have the same problem with wranglers and know other who spent months trying to sort it out - changed the tyres to Goodrich MTRs - the vibration went away!
