Not a 100% sure whether this is a problem or whether it's just my car just started it up and between 10000 to 15000 revs the car would vibrate. If I rev above it the car is fine but when I drop them it vibrates again anyone have any ideas

Thanks

This happened to mine, except it the exhaust pipe snapped off the backbox might be worth having a look under for an wear / cracks in the exhaust system.

Replace the icv. Sounds like its not holding the revs right. Plus if your car is revving between 10000 and 15000, id start wondering if u have a bike engine in it ;-)

Haha what an idiot I am . What's an icv?
I havnt long had a service on the vehicle but I put induction air filter on it for a few miles and have just changed back to standard as was draining my petrol rapid time

An icv is an idle control valve. Worth checking it to c if its worn or clogged up. A new one aint expensive n is easy to replace. Its just another case of elimination i guess :-)
