what might be causing my 1.2 clio to vibrate when nearly at a standstill under moderate braking with the clutch down?

yes, also interestingly when you reverse the judder can be heard/felt along with a binding or scrubbing noise. seems to come from the front wheels

no the discs are probably the originals (65k) quite uneven across the contact area from middle to outer edge. The problem is quite a recent-2 week- thing and just happened.

My girlfriend has just told me that there is a grinding noise when moving off at certain points as the wheels rotate.

cheers for all your help, I will change the discs see what that does
