if it is only when the breaks are hot this may suggest that the calipers are not releasing fully and due to the heat causing expansion the pads start to bind causing the wheel to shake
is there a hot/burning smell from the brakes when you stop or any noise from the brakes slight scraping/ squealling noise when driving :question :question :question

Warped discs mate.

Do not buy aftermarket - they will not last and will judder fairly quickly (bitter experience!).  Buy genuine Vx front disc set - comes with 2 discs and set new pads.  Not sure of retail cost but around £70 + VAT on Trade Club card.

Fairly easy job to fit - sure there is a guide on here.
