Sasha? Whats the 411? This feels like an episode of House - very obvious signs,no obvious cure. Hope you found a good solution (excluding taking it to the edge of the escarpment and giving it a gentle shove with tearful eyes...)

@Sasha,
Manual gearbox it is......ama?....If so,change your gearbox mountings and you problem will be solved...(From experience of course.At red lights,the bijuti vibrates so violently so much that,i am forced to step out until amber)

@Njunge - its an automatic gearbox - vibrates when on D when she steps on the brakes...

@Djinn,
And the engine mountings are intact.....gearbox oil level is correct?If so,the problem may still be with the gearbox.Unfortunately,there are very few expert mechanics in servicing planetary gearboxes.In which case,replacing it would be most ideal......my two zim cents.

@Djinn: The vibration has reduced significantly since the last 'dose' of repairs! The last thing that was done was to change the plugs to NGK double pin. The car is behaving like its on steroids but the vibration has reduced! Something I've also noticed (especially today); the car usually vibrates more when it hot outside! This morning there was virtually no vibration! Hmmmm ..... !

@Guka: Bure wewe! You must be the one who causes that jam every morning at Nairobi West/Madaraka roundabout! I thought you get out of the car to check on the makonge tethers and to escape the smoke!?

@Thimioni! LOL! extrablessed hawesmek! I prayed for her jana!

@sasha - i wish I could see the car - if you have established that it vibrates MORE when its hot (not necessarily the ambient temperature,but if you have been motoring for long and in traffic),think along the lines of metal expansion - I would immediately go back to my initial diagnosis - something in the gearbox in not right - something is expanding and getting bent out of shape either by friction (like what causes brake jam)... if all else fails by Friday,I would really like to have a long hard look at that car...

@Njung'e: My break was fabulous! Went to places I didn't know existed! Did the whole round trip Nairobi - Nakuru - Narok - Kisii - Rongo - Migori - Isebania, then back to Kehancha, Lolgorien, Kilgoris and back to Kisii - Kisumu - Busia - Eldoret and back to Nakuru through Mogotio! It was breathtaking! And I'm planning another one very soon for the Eastern-North Eastern part to see whether I can cross over to Ethiopia Jicho-Pevu style!

@mlefu: Toka kwa pipa! Its too early!

@Djinn: Lets call that a possible date! Though I will not be around on Friday, I can organise for my bro to avail it to you!
