  1. First thoughts would have been wheel balance but other static/dynamic imbalances can give these symptoms

    For the driveshafts, an old trick is to put a jubliee clip (and sometimes a washer or coin underneath the clip if necessary) on the shaft and road test, if necessary, loosen one at a time and rotate slightly to place the weight over a different area to see if this balances the shaft. If it makes no difference then its not the driveshafts

    I would however take a look at the tyres on the front and rear by jacking up each corner at a time and spinning the wheel to see if the tyre is out of shape or has a bulge in it the tread area.

  2. Thanks for sharing the removal procedure and sure it will be handy for any other members looking to remove the instrument panel

    Be aware that the replacement one may need programming into the vehicle if it has CanBus networking as the instrument panel is the 'Gateway' for the CanBus
    Other methods would be to get the panel repaired 

  3. Now that could be both suspension or brakes

    Brakes is more like a clicking noise if the pads are moving in the carrier but if the caliper is loose then this will also make a noise
    Check the caliper is firmly secured it will flop around and you will hear a clunking noise if not

    If you place a wheel wrench on the wheel nut and move the car backwards and fowards with it that should narrow down the are of the noise

  4. I would therefore possibly take it to a transmission specialist who can focus on that system specifically.
    Worth doing a google search to see who is in your local or wider area
