Our tootling-around-town Clio 1.2 has started juddering when changing gear - notably 4th and 5th.

It's on an 08 plate and 42k miles - it's done 2k in its one year with us; it was previously owned by a granny. I'd really rather it wasn't the clutch (which I assume would be £350-400), but suspect it might be.

It's fine in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. The juddering is intermittent when changing into 4th and 5th.

If it is the clutch, then I'll consider this a lesson just to buy a brand new car in future. It's cost £750 in preventive maintenance so far (cambelt, brakes etc), all for just 2-3k miles per annum of use.
