20VSE

Hi guys. I've just found the forum and it looks like technical questions can be answered! Therefore, lets see if anyone can help with my problem.
I have a 2004 Toledo 1.8 20V SE and have had problems with vibrating brakes, particularly under moderate braking and when running at speed (ie braking to come off the motorway. The wheel shakes from side to side) It started in the summer and my local garage recommended changing the discs. This cured the problem for about 2 months then the vibrations came back. Another set of discs was fitted under warranty and now they have again warped. The 3rd new set in 6 months were fitted yesterday....
The calipers are not binding and the garage has had a good look at them and say they appear fine. There is no 'blue-ing' of the warped discs which would be a sign of them overheating either. The garage is at a loss to explain what the problem is so I wondered is anyone had experienced a similar problem?
Any suggestions would be welcomed. If it happens again I'll have to try having the calipers replaced (quoted approx £300 + fitting) as well as yet another set of discs and pads!
