The clutch is on the way out on my little 2006 06 plate combo, the D.M.F is rattling like a goodun but I'm hoping to nurse it until after Christmas, My question is could the knackered clutch be linked to the poor starting and slight misfire at low revs, It's fine when its at speed?

Is this your works motor yes..
I've had plenty of dmf's vibrate and feels just the same as a misfire
I was forced to change the clutch on my focus. Last week it has been slipping for months but gradually got so bad It was un drivable

Mondeos are famous for poor/difficult starting with knackered dmf

Did one not long ago similar problem with rattling flywheel. Did the flywheel first but still had bit of misfire when cold that turned out to be an injector. Vauxhall are also doing solid flywheel conversion and National also do solid coversion.

Thanks for the replies Chaps, Yes it is my work Van and before I bought it the injectors were tested and two of them replaced, I priced up a solid flywheel conversion kit and it was more expensive than a DMF!

The one I did above I put another dual mass in but a company I know have a fleet of them are changing them to solid. |

There is an ECM update available if you convert to SMF.
