If you rely on your car and you're not naturally mechanically inclined, all the more reason to get someone who knows what they're doing to look at it.

Driving. I haven't narrowed it down more than that (it doesn't happen in the same places/scenarios; or at least I'm not noticing if it does). It didn't happen on my drive to/from Tesco just now (~4 miles total), though it has happened before on that route - I wasn't (consciously) driving differently.

I don't think I feel it through the wheel/pedals/gear stick - rather it's the whole car... It could be like switching between having too much / not enough power, or that might be imagination bias. It doesn't last long - maybe judders a handful or half dozen times - generally enough to think "it's doing it again, yep definitely not my imagination, I don't think I'm doing anything wrong, oh it's gone."

It's not being in too high/low a gear, or bad clutch use (I'm plenty familiar with jerkiness caused by bad gear changing).

I think that's where you're reaching the wrong conclusion - I'm not not naturally mechanically inclined.

I like fiddling with things, I just don't presently know how (and am a little apprehensive when it comes to fiddling with large heavy fast moving things).

And when I'm in the middle of nowhere at midnight with a broken mobile... how do you propose getting in touch with the RAC and letting them know where I am? :/

I'd rather make use of the things that make me human and be the one that knows what they're doing.

I'll respond to anything I haven't currently another time. Need to eat and stuff now.

So you're going to carry all your tools with you, along with your Haynes manual and encyclopaedic knowledge of the stuff that's not covered or wrong? Because, after all, you won't be able to access t'interwebz with your mobile all borked.

OK, good luck! :)
