I've just bought a 2lt tdci mondeo 54 plate and it was running fine for a few days but now all of a sudden when it gets to like 2000 rpm it judders a bit like it's trying to use the turbo. I don't know a lot about cars, could someone point me in the right direction as to why this could be happening pleeeease.

    I've just been reading another forum about supermarket diesel and was wondering if this could be my problem. I do a lot of miles in work and I pretty much fill up every time in Tescos. This is my first diesel as all I've driven before is petrol. I decided on diesel purely for the fact that I'll get more mpg for my money. I really like this car and hope it's just the fact that I've been putting full tanks if Tesco deisel in it. If I put redex in there would this sort the problem out.

    When I'm driving it just judders when turbo should kick in but don't cut out. Please can someone help me as I know jack:-(
