A clutch on mine is ~ 800 quid, if the DMF is worn thats another 700, if the cars worth 1500 which it is likely to be in the next 12 months then its not "worth" fixing as it would be running a 200K gearbox, suspension, engine, interior etc....

At which point its a case of shipping the thing out on FleaBay or stripping it and flogging as bits. Seems a shame for a 7 year old car that is still quite presentable.
