Hi have a saxo vtr on 2001 plate, im not sure whats wrong with it but the car wont pull away when it is in gear, i take my foot off the clutch and nothing happens, the clutch and gearbox are fine. I think it could be my driveshaft or a mount somewhere, its been juddering for a week now when i try to give it throttle and it died this morning. Can anyone help????

Sounds like your clutch has gone to me, I think you'd know about two snapped driveshafts!
