renault scenic jerking - nthesx

hi
i just got a renault scenic priv+ 1.9dci 2001 model (2weeks ago)
i noticed some slight jerking when driving today but only when i was doing a steady speed,dissapeared when accelerating.as this is my first non ford i didnt know if this is a normal thing with renault or something wrong.no warning lights showing up so i can only imagine that it would be mechanical.33k on clock i was kinda hopeing it would last longer than this
any ideas would be appreiciated
cheers

It could do with a good clean out. This means driving it till it has warmed up, then accelerating the thing up through the gears a few times to nearly the red line. Then running it along for twenty minutes on the motorway at 4,500 revs.
