hi mate

have you tried you air mass meter? this can cause turbo problems and tick-over problems.  it can also cause your engine to lack in power????

sounds like you've got problems with your ABS system

the juddering could be warped discs and pads - get them checked out ASAP!

yes that sounds correct it could also be your tracking and your wheel balancing if its juddering when braking because mine did this ;-)
