mines similar but i get the shudder whenever the cars coasting in dissapears when accelerating, i also have the brake shudder and a weird pull to the right which seems to happen only when the car feels like it.

There is a TSB on the handbrake for BA's, not that I ended up doing one the last short stint for the local dealership, I think there was shoe replacement envolved.

It only gets better ,you had overboost yet???allmost stalling at the lights???

My car was 3 1/2 years old when I sold it,and the steering still made that horrible squeek,fraud never did fix it properly

Whats your ride like now???the hydrolic bushes leak and your ride turns to siht,you need a kidney belt...

then thers the water pump O ring that leaks,but I got a bonus,the power steer pump O ring went too

vik...wont mention the strawberry milk in the coolant at this stage

Had teh almost stalling at the lights - but thought that was coz of the flash tune
Power steering will get fixed next service and same with brake shudder!
For the power steer they replace teh hose - i complained about it last time but they only bled the system!
Brake shudder they will fit new discs and pads under wty!
Handbrake - who knows if they will ever fix that!
