Juddering FL2

HI, wonder if anyone can help.

My FL2 2011 sometimes gives a juddering for want of a better explanation at around 30mph in 4th gear around 1200rpm - 3rd gear is close to 1800 rpm and feels like the wrong gear. It's more often when the fuel is below 100 miles in range and I was wondering if it could be a fuel filter. It feels a bit like the anti stall you get in first gear and i'm convinced it some kind of fueling issue.

It also seem to want to stall sometimes when setting off - particularly when there is any resistance. It went into the dealer in march and they found nothing.

It going into the independent on Thursday for a service so I will ask them if this is normal and it still has 3 months of LR warranty so I'm hoping to get it sorted before it runs out.

Sorry for saying it, but 3rd gear - 1800 rpm it's the right gear to be... And 4th - 1200 rpm the wrong one.
As for the juddering.... It seems to be a "characteristic" of the post MY2011 cars.
Especially noticeable on the manual ones where the user can select an improper gear vs. rpm/speed.

A "feature" then. Strangely it indicates to switch up in 3rd to 4th. Not good gearing for UK roads.
