Picked the car up a couple of days ago.

Everything seems fine.  The clutch has a nice smooth feel to it.

For the past year or so I found the clutch juddery when stop/starting in slow moving traffic.  There is no judder now.

They gave me the parts that were removed.  I would like someone to look at them but I don't who at the moment.

Great that you have your car back and everything is better (smoother).  To be honest, my clutch can sometimes judder in slow moving traffic...

I'd be curious to see the clutch so if you have time, pop some photos on here for us all to see (of course I wouldn't be able to tell if it's worn or not as it needs measuring - pure curiosity) :)

My clutch Judders until the engine and transmission is warm and it has done since I bought it.

I'll take some pics in the coming days.

There still looks to be a lot of friction material on the friction disc and there are no obvious signs of wear or damage, maybe the issue is with the pressure plate?

Thanks for sharing the pictures.  Do you have a local independent garage nearby you could show the clutch to?

I've just taken a look at the service manual, attached are some screen grabs on how to measure the wear plus the wear limit.  From your photos it looks like there is loads of material left...

I can't find this info about clutch discs in any of the booklets I have.

I have 3: Owner's Manual, Navigation System Owner's Manual and Warranty Booklet and Maintenance Record.

The above screen shots are from the Nissan maintenance manuals that the dealers use.  These are not supplied with the car so the data won't be in any of the booklets you mention.

I can't take credit, some enterprising individuals got hold of these and put them on the web so I took a copy...
