engine juddering is normally a loose or worn engine mounting bush problem.

Is the complaint that it's juddering / shaking whilst slowing down , idling ?

No fault lights r on @ all, nissan says that no faults r comin up on diagnostics. Starts judderin wheather its doing 70mph or 20 mph. Nissan just cant seem 2 find a fault, whic there obviously is or it wudnt be doing it!!

do you get lots of smoke from the exhaust when it starts juddering? It may be an egr fault or a connector /wire somewhere that is affected by heat(expansion) causing a poor connection

have you checked all the earth wires are tight,find earth header points to chassis and clean up to make a good contact,make sure battery terminals are tight and check wiring plug to ecu is secure,might be worth checking and cleaning the idle control valve

" cleaning the idle control valve " does a Nissan Almera 2.2 diesel have one ?
