So had to make the trek home for easter last week and got caught in loads of traffic on the m25. This is my first car so have no experience of other clutches and this one has always made me feel like its not quite right.
Often had a lot of judders trying to pull away in first but have always put this down to me having crap clutch skills.
Anyway being stuck in this never ending traffic on the m25 meant I was using the clutch a lot to crawl along in first and it started getting VERY jerky and shaky whenever I stopped and tried to move off again. I worked out that I could combat it by either reving around double the amount I usually would while engaging the clutch or around half of what I usually would when engaging the clutch. Either way it was a stressful experience worrying that my clutch was gonna give out on the middle of the m25! It was fine once traffic subsided and had no issues using the clutch with any other gears.
Been doing a bit of town driving now im home and all seems fine.

Got my dad to have a little drive in it, as hes had a lot more clutch experience, and he came back saying that the clutch felt very light to him. Is that something thats known with grande puntos or should I be concerned?

Cheers.
Tom.
