Just drove back from cardiff last night and gets worse the further i drive, and the more weight i have in the car??? its a really violent shake!! all the mounts have been changed, cv joints checked. so what can it be, the more i put the accelerator down the worse it gets but then if i sit at 70/80 accelerator half down it runs pretty much fine??
im not over exagerating when i say its a violent shake moves me in my seat!!!!!

probally wheel balancing mate

does the wheel shake ?

swap tyres around and see if it goes away ?

Bearings maybe?

jack the front wheels up and get someone to hold the steering wheel while you grab the front wheels at 9 & 3 o'clock and see if theres any movement

Mine did this just before the gearbox mount smashed into tiny pieces and left my engine on the subframe.
