--- 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!

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!
