   Just got my car back from the garage today, had the HEAD GASKET done, head skimmed and spark plugs replaced etc.
   
   Took it for a good run and at 70mph felt a bit lumpy for a few seconds, put it down to the oil change...
   
   Come off the dual carriageway and now intermittently when I pull away from a stop the car judders violently, almost as if it wants to stall..... does this through 1st/2nd gear for a few seconds then it's fine...... clutch is fully disengaged when it judders.
   
   ANY IDEAS??????
   
   Cheers

   I have the same problem,
   a friend of mine reckons it could be something to do with the alternator.
