Sorry for the delay, where and when did you get the car serviced? was it the dealer? was it ok before it went in? Sorry for the Qs, if the car was right before it went in then there's the chance the a fuel filter seal or the Top has not been tightened down tight enough, the clutch will not nothing to do with the Idle, as asked, was the car right before it went in ( The Judder) there could be an engine mount, but you said the clutch is HIGH looks like the clutch is ready for replacing unless it's adjustable which I doubt, I use Redx fuel additive in my car on a full tank, put the equivalent in for dervs & take the car out for a BLAST then try.
