After a lot of work I discovered the cause of the brake juddering.
It was the steering knuckle (the bit where the drive shaft, track rod end and brake caliper fit to. One of the threaded holes where the brake caliper sliding pin bolts screw into had lost its thread and the sliding bolt (hardened steel) had worn the hole in the cast iron (softer) and there was a lot of play so the caliper was only being held firmly by one of its two bolts.
So the lesson for me is that it's not always the obvious. I had assumed it was the brake disc.
Hope this helps
