I don't know what happened to my previous post. Seems to have missed loads off?
That video shows me hitting the accelerator hard and the revs shoot up before the speed?
I will try the Dr Tran - I already have one in from when Geoff did the flush a while ago.

When my TC started to go, two tubes of DT would fix the problem but 2-3k miles later it would come back again. Add more DT it would be fine again for another 2-3k but it was a gradual decline. Key point here is if DT stops your problem you will know where the source of the issue is.

Cheers!
What was your final fix? Or are you still adding Dr T

Think I have found the problem - Looks like its down to my EPB
It has disintegrated and is catching on the rear of the wheel nut studs, and has trashed the inside of my disks, I fully released the tension and went for another drive and the judder has gone.
It now has a massive ridge on the inside of the disk
At least its not my TC (i hope)

Fingers crossed you've sorted the problem.
I ended up having a new TC and gearbox overhaul which is pain in the rear but at least its sorted now.

Who did it and how much was it? If you don't mind me asking?

£1865 + VAT at VMTP Midlands Ltd. It had to go back two weeks later for the TC to be replaced again as one they fitted was faulty. All good now though - I hope.

Had another drive this afternoon and had a very slight shudder once - but I think this is because the shoes are catching the back of the studs still.
On a plus side I reset the trip computer and got an average of 40MPG on the display - amazing how much better it is without a brake jamming!

So a few weeks have passed, and now the judder is back - Its had a service, all diff fluid changed new track rod end kit, full alignment, but it still continuous.
I didn't add the Dr Tranny, but I have now ordered some up and hope it will be here on Monday.
It seems to be worse when the car is upto temp - from cold it all seems fine..
If its my TC, what will the end result be if I keep running like this - I cant afford a £2k bill to get this fixed right now. I really hope when I add the Dr Tranny the shudder continues.

Well my shudder got seriously bad...
My CV joint failed and the shaft fell out - so looks like I may of found the cause of the problem...

I had the same issue. A strange wobble in the car, disappeared and came back several times with no specific pattern. Then the front right cv joint fell apart.
