Is it a DIY job im being advised to do the flywheel as well.

Most garages will tell you to replace the Fly Wheel. 9 times out of 10 though you can re-skim it IF its not a stupid dual mass one.

Yeah check if the flywheel is dual-mass or just a solid one, as 2tongues says. If it's solid I can't imagine it'll need replacing, just fixing surely.

Edit - ok, a quick Google makes it looks like it's a dual-mass flywheel :thumbdown:

Further Googling produced the following :

Quote:The DMF is made by Luk and they provide garages with very clear details on how to measure a given DMF for wear, if the DMF failed on those measurements then yes change it otherwise it is not required.

Quite a good thread on this subject here.

Reading that thread that I linked to, it looks like although you can get the clutch replaced, there's a question about whether you'll have clutch judder, depending on how the flywheel is. Fingers crossed that it's just a clutch replacement job though.

Make sure they give you a warrenty with the work mate as some clutches only last 30,000 miles on this model.
