Insignia Juddering
Recently purchased a high mileage Insignia 160 cdti Elite with full service history in reasonably good condition considering the 102K miles on a 09 plate.
I have done approx. 4000 miles with no problems at all (motorway) but over the last few days I have noticed an intermitent problem. Traveling at approx. 80mph I get a big judder as if the car is labouring or going over rough terrain. This lasts for about 30 seconds and then it goes.
This morning was worse as it came and went for about two miles before finally returning to normal.
I have read a few things around dual mass fly wheel issues but considering it only happens when at speed with no clutch manipulation I am wondering (hoping) that its not this, given the repair cost!

Might be the torque generated in 6th at this sort of road and engine speed. What is it? 1,750-2,000rpm, which is when peak torque will be generated.

My 2014 MINI Countryman has a fault. When on full lock, reversing or forward, the car judders. I have taken it to two local garages, and neither have any idea what the issue is. Can you please advise?
I get a very bumpy ride and juddering with my Mercedes E43 AMG 4MATIC. Signs of early tyre wear too. The car has a limited turning circle and severe juddering on the steering and tyres. We are complaining...
On odd occasions my 2013 BMW X1 suffers the judders as I accelerate through the gears. As if it doesn't know whether to go on - but you can easily just accelerate through it. BMW can find nothing amiss....
