Hi all.

There's a SLIGHT vibration at tickover, which seems worse when cold.
And vanishes in all other situations - such as driving.
My first thought, dating back to days when we had distributors and carburettors, was that the tickover speed was a little low.
I took her in for an oil and filter change today (not due - but thought it was a good investment).
Dealer wants it back for a full day to explore - mentioned engine mounts.
Searching on here, this seems to be a common(ish) problem.
I thought it was a small problem - maybe not!
They also found a slight leak from a rear damper they're going to change next week.
Anybody else had this problem?
And should I ask for the OTHER damper to be changed at the same time?
I realise that this would be at my expense, but I've always thought you never do anything to just ONE side.
Full marks to my dealer (Hursts).
Looks like a very thorough check
Tyre are down to 3-4 mm, so they're due for changing pretty soon
Pretty good tyre life.
Should I get the dealer to change them, or go to my usual tyre dealer (who is very good)?
