About 1500 but have always driven a auto so I don't know if it's my driving I had auto t5 volvo so wondered if I'm to light footed ?

Try bringing the car up to around 2000 before changing, even higher around 2200 when it's warm. This may solve your issue with the juddering. I notice juddering in my focus if I shift too early at low revs. Like you said you're maybe being a bit too light footed. Try that and see how you get on man :D

try driving it on manual mode and swapping gears as and when suggested above, but if its on auto mode theres little you can do to change the settings. My CMAX allowed me to set sport mode on the gearbox which left the revs to go higher before changing gear.
