Any view on what may be causing this, totally ruins driving experience
Many Thanks

I had a similar issue. Turned out one of my tires was out of round and can't be balanced. I had it replaced and fixed the issue.
If you have another set of tires, you can test it to know whether your wheels/tires or suspension issues. In my case, my car drove perfectly on my winter tires over 100+ mph but the summer wheels/tires created a steering vibration when it's over 80+ mph. Therefore, I knew either my summer tires or rims were not within specs.
I went to multiple places to have my wheels balanced, including road force balancing. They also blamed my rims were bent which I also fixed but didn't resolve the steering vibration issues. Finally, I found a place that actually know how to do
road force balance, and they showed me one of my tires was out of round. I had that tire replaced and it fixed the issue of steering wheel vibration over 80 mph.
The issue popped up when I got a brand new set of Michelin PS4 tires. I didn't look too hard into the tires because it was brand new. However, sometime brand new tires are out of round from the factory and cant be balanced at all and it has to be replaced.
