"my car is 3mnths old and as aprox 3,500 miles done" - I would take it back to the dealer as its still under warranty. The juddering while trying to accelerate is not at all normal for the diesel.
I would suggest air filter, fuel filter, injection pump. (check/renew in that order), but let citroen put it on the computer under warranty.
