When i go over 80ks my steering wheel is shaking and it seems my dash is shaking too :S

Its quite weird...my dad reckosn a weight has been lost off my wheel or something?

could be a simple wheel balance, maybe a split engine mount as well

well he is trying to sell his car so he doesn't want to waste too much flogging it off to the next owner.
So get a torch and look for damaged mounts easy and costs you nothing to rule one option out.

instead of trial and error, take it to pedders let them diagnose the problem for a small fee or maybe evn free, you ll save money in the end. likley to be balance and alignment...
