When the car is cold, and less so when warm, the car is very lumpy when driving slowly. If you drive along at a slow speed, the car jerks constantly but only gently, like someone just very slightly pressing on and off the throttle. What could it be?

Last serviced before christmas. But it's been like it for ages.
Yes, I'm selling it, but I like to have things as right as possible before buying. I also have an airbag ligth which I want fixed. God knows how that much will cost!

See my 206 GTi thread in my sig, there is a lot of info on the airbag fault in there.
As for the judder, could it just be the infamous 180 flywheel/clutch judder?

I did check the seats very quickly, but they seemed fine. They are pain in the ass clips to undo to remove the seats so not sure how they could come loose on theyre own?! I don't have a gap checker tool thing for plugs, but it has been redex'd a few times and though it solved other problems this is still persistant.

people insist redex is bad, but it has solved many issues for me on many cars. I can't understand why people insist that it is bad!
