Oops. I changed a clutch over the xmas holiday and the DMF had about plus and minus 5 mins ( on a clock face ) free play. I could not see any advice on the rover/MG CD as to when replace the DMF. The clutch take up is smooth and gear changes quite normal.

I wouldn't give it a second thought then unless the flywheel is scored or judders.

That is absolutely what should happen some free movement then you feel the springs taking up the strain

And I still can't find the link I once found showing how to measure them for excess movement

A Dual Mass Flywheel from rsj-motor-factors is £275. Not cheap obviously but not as bad as some members seem to have been charged.
By the way, I have mentioned this Co. before as being the UK distributor for Borg & Beck, one of the best known names for clutches. I note that they give a 2 year warranty on these clutches. They also stock the slave cyl.
Quinton Hazel give a lifetime guarantee on clutch replacement when carried out by garages signed up to their scheme.
Not required by me as I have an auto but note these things as so many members report clutch problems.

Quinton Hazel is a company I only have praise for too!
