Hi, 300tdi 142k miles, timing belt done @ 112k miles, head done 138k miles - finding mild judder through the steering wheel and engine seems to complain / under perform between 2000-2500 rpm when accellerating, also there is a fan belt squeak as she accellerates - any suggestions?

Suggest you check your power steering pump!

Mine's knackered and vibrates the steering wheel around 2000 rpm.

Could explain the fan belt noise as well. Look for excessive wear on one side of the belt. That's how the mechanic picked my problem.

Replacing tomorrow.

Cheers
