The ride on my V8S is generally very smooth, and certainly loads better than my previous "S"s, but when I lean back against the headrest at say 40-60 mph I can feel what seems to be a sideways vibration through it (the headrest that is). Nothing obvious like a rear wheel falling off, any ideas ?

You have probably reached the natural oscillating frequency of the seat

Have you checked some of the balancing weights havn't fallen off your wheels.

Sounds plausible, thanks. Am about to have the wheels lightly refurbed, so once completed will do a proper balance.
