Dual mass flywheel by the sounds of it as they are prone to failure, How many miles has the car done ??

few options really, either replace the dmf as they are prone and at that many miles its done well. or just put up with it until it fails completely. or fit a solid flywheel conversion for around £240

i was thinking of solid flywheel conversion but had a read up on them that they vibrate alot and cause crank failure?
