Default Engine system service required dead end

It seems like I might have to scrap the T5!
Having been told by three separate service centres(2 main dealers and 1 independent) that it definitely needed a new throttle body I duly coughed up the £450 and had it changed. No dash board message any more but vibration start at 65mph. Took it to the independent specialist who diagnosed misshapen rear tyres which were changed. Still got the vibration at 75mph when driving alone. Vibration worse going up hill or with two people on board. Four adults and three rug rats on board and the vibration kicks in at 35mph. Volvo specialist now thinks it's a transmission problem as there is play in the drive shafts and differential. As the initial diagnosis from this 'specialist' was bad tyres Ive lost all confidence in his ability to get it right. My last Volvo, a 760GLE died of an auto box failure. Unless anyone has abetted idea?
