Vibrations in a Laser GL

Hey guys, I recently brought a Laser GL Lift-back (My first car) and have done the usual, got it into the mechs to have it checked, it is 13 years old (superstition?). Anyway the work that was done was
- Air filters changed
- Timing Belt replaced
- Front lower engine mounts replaced
- All 4 C/V boots replaced
- Cam shaft belt replaced

They still need to do the rear struts, their pretty soft, won't pass rego inspection in its state and they have said that the rer engine mounts will need to be replaced cause the new front ones are putting too much pressure on the rear.
Now the problem is that as I accelerate through 50-65KM/h the whole car starts to vibrate, hard enough to cause the CD player to skip. Oh, the cars Auto.

Any ideas how I can fix it?

Cheers

Do you feel the vibration through the steering wheel, like does the steering wheel shake?

Might be a wheel alignment/wheel balace required.

Nah, I've had the wheels aligned

I'd suggest having a look at the following:
wheel bearings;
engine, is there a miss or something at a certain RPM;
gearbox, get a service done on it;

got the car in for tuesday.

cheers

Funny thing is my old KE Laser used to do the same after we had been hit in the rear, I never could find the cause, maybe bent steering ?????.
