So..............Did the front brakes myself, although the rotor screws resisted all efforts, so I ended up drilling them out. End result = judder much diminished, but still there.............***????
Took it to my mechanic who diagnosed warped rear rotor(s).........another ***??? as rears have a comparatively easy life vs. front. He replaced them and found that the emergency brake on one side was seized on. Had worn the contact surface quite thin. I am thinking the previous owner had not bothered with the E brake much. All fixed now.........waiting for possible resulting wheel bearing / drive shaft issues on that side
