	Hi barty, Have you had the wheels balanced? Judder, need more information? Does it transmit vibration through the steering wheel? etc. Rory

	OK Barty, Warped discs.. When braking do you get a pulsing through the brake pedal? Not quite like an ABS feeling but similar. The rate of the pulse should increase with the speed you are braking from? Rory

	If you get the pulsing, you probably doing the right thing with new discs as it does sound like they are warped. Hope it solves the problem. Rory
