RRS Vibration - Not a Wheel Balancing Problem !

Hello to all you fellow RRS fans Smile

I'm new to this forum and I'm looking for some help and guidance - a little cheeky I know, sorry about this...!!
I own a 2010 RRS HSE and have done since May 2013. I have an issue with vibration through the steering wheel usually starts at about 50MPH and then is intermittent at various speeds above that. Its been back to Land Rover who have changed the following to cure the problem: Wheels & Tyres, Steering Rack, Steering Column, Steering Wheel, Suspension bushes, software upgrades etc.(almost a new vehicle).
I've now been told by Guy Salmon (the dealership) that this is a characteristic of the vehicle and is within tolerance Confused
I've contacted Land Rover Customer service and they are repeating what the dealership have said and will not prepared to offer any further assistance.
Quit frankly I'm not impressed with their response and I need to find out if there are any channels that I could take this matter further.
Its not as if I've never had Land Rovers before, so far I've owned 3 Disco's, 1 RR Vogue and 2 x RRS all circa 3 -4 years old.
However, this particular RRS is the worst by far of any vehicle I've ever had the pleasure to drive Sad
I've got to the stage where I either want a full refund or a swap of vehicle but Guy Salmon will only offer a "Sympathetic" trade-in which means I would loose approximately 15% of the vehicle value - bearing in mind that its been in their garage for some 4 - 5 weeks in total !!
I hope somebody can help me stay with Land Rover

Thanks in anticipation KPA4

Check the propshaft running to the back axle. The centre bearing is encased in rubber, fit he rubber is torn, then it may be causing t eh vibration through the car.

Same problem for me on a 6000 mile new car back in 2008. LR replaced tyres, wheels, steering rack, propshaft....it was a replacement rear diff which fixed the problem according to LR. i didn't hang around long enough to find out, LR "assisted" me into a new car.

Good luck. Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6
