Are you sure it was juddering on tickover?and check and see if it is the same this morning just take it down the road and back

hi when stood still it was like a slight misfire sort of wobble if that makes sense, i drove to work this morning only a ten min drive i didnt really go much over 30 and didnt feel it that much, it does it when going 40/50mph but last night it was quite bad it was like the n/s/r was wobbling its the 1st time its done it

You may have a plug down or damp on the electrics somewhere, the snow is thawing out now I take it you had antifreeze in? cant see it being anything to do with wheels or brakes as you you have in on tickover so it as to do with electrics or compression, how far had you driven before it had started to jodder ? if you didnt have it on tickover i would have said check to see if you had a seized caliper

yes ive got antifreeze, i drove about 5miles or so, if it is plugs why would the back end wobble would it be because of a missfire??

[donmar]

you never said anything about back end wobbling? which could be a rear seized caliper are you sure it judders on tickover, dos it get worse the longer you drive say over 3miles

just had same thing. turned out to be a seized front caliper.

Thats why i asked about wobble on tickover? mine was a front seized caliper it drove perfect for the first couple of miles then i got the vibration bad

A bit of a shot in the dark, but it is worth checking the engine mounts if it also is a bit shuddery at tickover - loose/perished engine mounts can cause some strange effects when driving.
