Hi, I've got a 2008 D5 C70 Auto, when i accelerate moderately hard the full car shakes, it pulls and drives fine but shakes very noticeably. As soon as you back off it will be fine, it literally just does it under acceleration.

I have had the wheels balanced and the car has today passed an MOT, I told the tester about the problem and he couldn't find any fault with the suspension arms etc. I suspected the driveshafts but surely it would shake all the time if that were the cause. It will sit at 80mph on the motorway perfectly.

Has anyone got any ideas please?
