Hi guys,

My car had become quite jerky when I start driving from a stand still, and the clutch pedal is playing up, sometimes only come back up half way. Anyone else had the same issue?

On a side note, if anyone ever has any need for a new rad, I highly recommend PWR, pricey but all aluminium, perfect fit and really good quality

As a start, when was the clutch fluid last changed?

Take the lid off the reservoir under the bonnet, and if it's black, it needs changing. smile

Does it feel like the clutch isn't disengaging fully? Clutch slave?

It seems to engage fine, just judders a lot when I start moving

Juddering as you pull away is usually the clutch plate or flywheel. frown

Clutch judder is normally fluid or dirt/grit on the clutch plate causing poor disengagement, or possibly misalignment but if it's just started and you haven't had the 'box out or changed the clutch or release bearing then that's fairly unlikely
