Well i fitted the new clutch and Dual mass flywheel this morning took around 5/6hrs all in and pretty easy to do especially on a ramp.
Started with mixed emotions tho, dropped the box out and removed the old clutch to fin it was in very good condition, very little wear on the disc and no signs of faul play on the pressure plate either, although we do suspect that the clutch has been recently changed as the DMF (supplied oem by LUK) was original but the clutch was missing the audi stamps plus a few other tell tail signs of it being previously tampered with. Our thoughts are maybe that the pressure plate has worn significantly quicker than the disc? Also the gearbox input shaft hadn't been greased either so could have been that too?
Anyhoo its all back in and drives loads better, no more hoping it can manage a hill start anymore
