Thanks guys,
I'll throw it on the hoist tomorrow and have a look, I'll fit the new Bilsteins whilst she's up there and looking forward to how it feels after,

Thanks for all your input guys, on Saturday I fitted Bilstein shocks with King springs with pleasing results (and very thankful to youtube for excellent 'how to" info)
I also checked the tyre pressures (only had the car a week) and found the tyres holding 60 psi. I "googled" the recommended tyre pressures and between the tyre pressure and suspension the vibration that was in the car has disappeared. Much nicer to drive now
Thanks again for all advice

60psi is ridiculous.

Especially since most cars use around 25 to 35 psi.
And more the point, most tyres have the maximum safe pressure at about 50psi or so from memory.
