Hi everyone, hope you can help.
From the day I brought the car it juddered so badly when being first driven, (i.e first drive of the day),first though was front brakes sticking on.

later found that clutch was very worn and on side of pressure plate fully replced clutch no problem now.

But last week the car has started juddering again, problem only happens when you brake car to full stop,and try to pull away again.
sometimes very stong judder, other times just feel it through steering wheel.
any ideas

car is brava 1.4
thanks
 
Have you checked the Discs? They may require smoothing or even replacing.

unfortunately that stongly suggests to me that it is the clutch. clutch judder usually only occurs when pulling away in 1st.

if it judders when you brake hard at high speed, then i'd think it could be the brakes, but in this situation its almost certainly the clutch.

did you have a full 3 part clutch kit fitted?
i'd take it back to where the clutch was fitted and complain that you have clutch judder again.
 
I agree with Jug, if it judders while pulling in first it's certainly the clutch plate.
