Severe stuttering when driving

Hi all,
A friend of mine test drove a 1.9td and found it to be stuttering quite badly whilst driving but seemed to idle fine when stood still. He did say it smoothed out a lot if you bury your right foot in the carpet and that it was considerably quicker than my 1.9td.
Any ideas on potential causes and whether it would be a cheap fix?

Clutch? Gearbox? Mounts? Fuel supply?

Not driven it, but it is tidier than mine so if it can be fixed cheaply I may consider it myself :cheesy:

If it's running fine flat out, then I doubt it's an air or fuel supply issue. My next guess would be engine mounts, easy to inspect before you buy?
