Would this simply be the new bushes 'bedding in'? If there is such a thing?? Or do I have a further problem with the suspension that the dealer hasn't picked up??? (There is also a Volvo / alko towbar that appears to have been on since new?)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I don't want to appear as a paranoid customer to the dealer but I also don't want to end up paying out for costly suspension repairs a month or two down the road.
Sounds like shocks to me. When they go it's like someone hitting the car with a sledgehammer.

The dvsa did have a problem at one point with their system as in the system would not let advisories be registered on their system so a blank section on your certificate
