1. when i pull away the car judders like its going to stall yet im doing it all correctly. someone said sumthing about the clutch being to high or sumthin. (ive just had a brand new one fitted)

2. The car does not start every time. it cuts out. sometimes i have to rev to get it going but it still conks out. sometimes it starts perfect.

3. When i stop the fan or sumthing makes an annoying noice like a propellor plane stoping and kinda judders.

Check the fuel mixture, use a gunston spark plug mixture tester, its like a see-through spark plug, so you can see the colour of the combustion. Also check for vacuum leaks around the carb.

Maybe the new clutch is sh!t, maybe the springs in the friction plate that absorb the transmission shocks are sh!t.

My mate had a problem like that.

Turned out it was a timing problem. Get new spark plugs and check your leads.
