I know I can go to my service people but, I wonder if you guys would know what could cause a judder while pulling off? The clutch seems fine so I was wondering mounts or something?

You can get what's called resonating vibrations, at certain frequencies the vehicle can shake, I get a vibration at 28 in 4th, could be just one of those things? Has it only just started happening?

It's been doing it for a while, it only happens at pull off. The car only did 1600 miles between mots, so I was hoping for a simple fix as I will put up with it.

As you have mentioned, check gearbox and engine mounts. We recently bought a discovery with a 2 inch lift and it had a horrific wheel wobble, wasn't the lift causing it, was a loose engine mount

check the change in your wallet, with all that rolling around it could cause the rumbling sound

Uh, there ain't no change in my wallet! As mentioned it is a judder, a shake felt throughout the car, things rattle. If I raise the revs to say 3 k it doesn't do it but It would make me look l could not drive.

Symptom could point to oil on clutch plates caused by worn rear crank oil seal. Check for oil under bell housing. Yeah, I know, would be odd if there wasn't.

Thanks I will take a look, if I "burnt it off" by riding the clutch for a few minutes, might give an idea. I guess what I'm trying to avoid is the " it's the clutch, oh no it's not that, it's blah blah blah". Having got rid of a p38 with suspension problems, that I spent £1800 on fixing that still wasn't fixed! In the end I made a four way manual up and down switch arrangement, left front up a tad, rear rh down a tad, sorted.
