On short journeys I'm getting a juddering that feels similar to ABS kicking in. Its definitely not the tracking etc cause the car seems to be struggling to pull like it normally does plus I don't feel it through the steering wheel. Its only really happening when I've been driving in traffic for 15-20mins (so the brakes are warm). I took it to a garage and they said the disks are fine ("but will need replacing when the pads go").
Any idea what might potentially be the issue? Servo? Cylinder? Brake lines? Warping disks?
Many thanks  
Edit - its a '98 Mark4 Astra but I'd imagine theres not a lot of difference between that and a Corsa!

Remove pads and clean the caliper up where the pad sits with a wire brush.
Then copper grease the back of the pad.
You'll be able to see if your pads are low or unevenly worn when you do this too.

So if anything it'll need new pads, at worst new discs too?
I'm gonna take it in to a garage to sort it 'cause I haven't got the time at the moment  Just wanted a rough idea of what it might be!
Thanks fellas
