juddering? when does it occur? under acceleration? while braking? when pulling away from a stand still?
have you checked the condition of the engine roll restrictor? this can cause major juddering and knocking! as the engine slams back 'n' forth in the bay! pop the bonnet and see if you can rock the the engine back 'n' forth manually? if you can and there is major movement then dont use the car till it's fixed! you can damage/weaken some of the alloy AC pipes which are not cheap to replace!
you can also just about see this part from underneath the car if you look hard enough, it links the cross member to the gearbox and is a common failure!
it's mainly the bolt on the gearbox/engine end fails!
