even STOOOPIDER than DMFs are the CSCs (slave cylinders) fitted INSIDE the bloody bellhousing, now think, for ease and cheap fixes, do we put stuff INSIDE the bellhousing (and need to strip the engine and box to get to) or OUTSIDE, held on by 2 bolts?...

its easy to confuse a DMF with abit of injector rattle, the latter is a regular tapping which is most apparent on tickover and/or light load, but goes away with raised tickover, the DMF sounds like all your spanners in a metal dustbin rolling down the road

on mine i can get rid of the injector noise by chucking a bottle of Forte diesel treatment in the fuel tank ( i mean the fluid, not the actual bottle) :oops:
