I've got a 96 1.8ST ,only had it 6 weeks,but i have vibes thru the steering wheel from 60mph upwards.Its been back to the dealers 3 times now,wheels balanced loads of times,hubs checked,steering checked,wheels changed & it still does it.Anyone got any ideas? Oh & it gets better above 85.

Interesting. It sounds like they're checking all the right things but perhaps they're not doing it right. I'd take the car somewhere else and see what happens. It is most definitely a rotational imbalance by your description. I'm reaching here, but its possible that there is something in the tire other than air. A small rock, some water (condensed from vapor in the air used to fill the tire), or something of that nature. The tire will balance out fine on the machine, but in the real world the foreign object moves around and the tire is out of balance again.
