Anyone had issues with juddery clutch from cold... gets better as it warms up? My wife doesn't drive it very often and she has stalled it due to this on a few occasions.
Any ideas please?
Thanks

Back in the day, that sort of symptom was the result of a badly adjusted clutch, but with self adjusters these days, I cannot see it being the same, unless there is some muck on the actuating mechanism somewhere.
Past cars Mercedes B Class, S Class, E Class Estate, E Class Coupe, G Wagen, 260E interspersed with Peugeot 406 and Audi Coupe.
Could be several things from contaminated, worn, dirty clutchplate, pressure plate, dual mass flywheel springs, or even the thrust bearing where it moves along the output shaft. I suppose it could be the clutch slave/master cylinder. One of the main things I can say though is that is very unlikely to get better on its own.
I would recommend you take it to a clutch/gearbox centre and open that wallet wide
