Juddering Modus
Car judders in first when taking off.
I can aleviate this by using higher revs than normal and slipping the clutch. Reverse smooth as silk and once rolling no problems in any other gears.
Could it be the clutch but reverse OK. Perhaps the gearbox or dual mass gearwheel (if Modus has one) or even engine mountings?

Might be a dual mass flywheel starting to fail.

Sensible, practical little car with good features like 'Triptic' rear seat and some diesel engines under 121g/km. Plenty of character too.
