My issue has only just started. When I am stopped a set of lights or accelerate from low revs the the car shudders. It sounds like its coming from below the centre console (so underneath the middle of the car)
The car is fine when im driving at normal speeds but yeah when I take off from a complete stop or if ive dropped to 30 or 40km and then accelerate it creates this shudder sound

Any ideas?

It sounds like the noise is coming from the transmission area. Does it seem like the trans is slipping? Have you checked fluid to make sure it is clean and full?

It doesnt feel like it is slipping just makes the shudder for a few seconds and then goes away.
I heard it may be a centre bearing which may be causing the issue?
