Labrat Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 At least it wasn't anything too catastrophic. Fingers crossed the nut and bolt checks sort it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Chase (NICO) - Shropshire & Mid-Wales AO Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I had exactly the same thing ending the same way. I took the switch out it’s a damn nuisance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Mine's done 28,000 miles without triggering. I'd check the source of vibration just in case you've got something giving you a warning sign. e.g. CV joint bolts to hubs etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
