Good Vibrations!!!!
Well not so good actually!!!
I am getting bad vibrations from the front of the car it doesn't happen when first pulling off (at any speed) and normally starts after about 10 minutes of driving - it feels like the front wheels are really out of balance - it'll then clear itself after a few miles and won't happen again for the rest of the trip!!!
I have been suspecting a dodgy brake pipe fopr a few weeks as the car is pulling to one side on occassions.
Could the brake pipe be causing the vibrations by holding one caliper on???
All your thoughts please!!!!

Burning Brakes
Unlikely - I would check wheel bearings, tyre pressures (some cars are sensitive to tyre pressures with some tyres; as the tyres warm up the pressure increases) and wheel balance (less likely).

Thanks Guys,
I like the flat spotting idea - however, on Saturday I drove the car for about 15/20 miles 80-90 mph (after warm-up!!! ), stopped for a few hours then drove home, same speeds and the vibes started about 6/7 miles in for about 2 miles then cleared - used the car everyday since with no vibes.
Its done this on a few occassions and the car is sometimes standing for a week - 10 days between runs.
