Can any one help
Can any one help me please. ive been a proud owner of a classic facelift for a couple of months. its a bit slow but that should be sorted with a td05 upgrade, a full stainless including up pipe decat down pipe, a colosol top mount intercooler, 255 fuel pump and a day on the rollers
But the problem is. when the car is cold or been stood for a few hours, when i come to drive it it makes a violent juddering when pulling off at low revs. its not knocking just juddering, but after ten mins of driving it seems to stop and go away. ive checked the engine mounts there is some play but they dont seem nackard
so i ask has any one had the same problem in the past, or know of a common fault what would cause this. any one please help

Is it clutch judder when you pull away mate or juddering when you're actually rolling?
If it's clutch judder they're very prone to it (do a search on the forum). Sometimes it can be fixed or reduced by doing a full bore high rev standing start. Let it slip a little as you take off. It may smoke and smell a bit but in theory the heat cleans the surface of the clutch plates off.
If it's juddering when you drive and the clutch is fully engaged then not sure but could be more serious. Engine mounts poss but you've checked them. Maybe transmission mounts?

Standard clutch judder. As the car is long out of warranty the temporary fix is to slip the clutch a little when you pull off. Use a large amount of throttle and slowly lift the clutch. That tends the cure the issue for a while.
Long term fix is a new clutch. Mine has this issue too, had the issue for 2 years, every now and then I just slip the clutch a bit and the issue tends to go away.

I think i would try bleding the clutch first, It's a quick and simple job which wont cost you anything.
If that dont cure it, I'm affraid it's a new clutch by the sounds of it.

Yep thats classic clutch judder fella.
As luminous and I said - a high rev/let the clutch slip standing start should sort it. You may find it judders again after a few weeks or months so do the same again.
If it gets so bad that it won't stop juddering no matter what you do, it's new clutch time.
