And why is this?

It's been discussed on here before. It's noted in the user manual

Something to do with the transmission

surely can't be a clutch on a 51'plate .... unless you are a bad 'left foot pedal' driver - sounds to me like a UJ gone - Â£20 repair!!

Sorry I didn't make myself clear, the clutch went on Saturday and I got towed last night, all four wheels were on the ground but the engine was running. When we reached about 45mph (on tow) the shaking begun. Hope I haven't damaged anything. Thanks Alex
