Hi all,

 

I've recently noticed the clutch in my car feeling a bit funny, when I'm letting it out it sometimes feels like the clutch pressure isn't constant, it's hard to describe exactly what I mean, but it feels like it's being let out more than it should at that height on the pedal. I also notice the wheels chirp slightly sometimes when I let it out on a gear change. Does this mean the clutch is wearing out? The car has 127k miles and I don't think there's any reference to it having been done yet in the service history, is it past time to be changed? I've never had a car with clutch problems before so I'm not really sure what to expect..

 

With regard to the DMF, it doesn't seem to be rattling  or doing any of the things they're supposed to do when they're failing, but I guess the best thing would be to get it changed along with, right? I was thinking I'd buy the set (it's about £300) one month then get the garage to fit it the next month, so as to spread the cost a bit. 

 

Has anyone had this job done lately? I've read massively varying quotes for (parts incl) between mid 500s and up to £1500!

 

cheers if you can help 

 

*edit* I should add that the car changes gear nicely

I wouldn't, it could be hydraulic rather than the clutch itself, wait for it to get worse, the symptoms are too vague now.
