By the time I hired a Note 15 years later I was a better driver so could handle it.

Your DMF got that bad that quickly? I can hear mine at times and feel it through the pedal but it's not giving me any problems just yet. It won't last forever but it's got 125000 on it so I can't complain.

I'm not sure yet if I'd replace it, but its got me wondering what else I could find for the money.

We talking 600-700 all in to do a s40 clutch and flywheel???

Give it a good clean and sell it for a profit

Including insurance I paid £440. The repair for the Volvo will be more than that Alex! Although I did buy it on impulse, which is not in my character tbh!

Depends.

Seen a LUK flywheel at £250. Clutch kit, well I'd expect to pay no more than £100, and the labour on top. Price may vary ha!
