you all know i have a judder on my car .
well ive just changed the thermostat and a lot of the water ran down into the gearbox and possible on the flywheel
is it just me BUT .... my judder seems to have vanished. its really smooth under load and under low revs.
what could the anti freeze have done ? or is it me loosing the plot

is it a Recent /new clutch plate?
if so it may have been put in with Grubby hands,
the coolant may have helped clean it perhaps ,

Sounds like a good idea. Stick some baking soda up the exhaust to stop it smoking too

ok cheers guys. im just thinking stupid, its pissing me off that much.
as well as the water leak STILL had the rear bumper off just put it back on.
behind the bumper is very easy access to the rear quater panel corner ... think ive finally found the cause ..
