But surely changing to a standard flywheel brings with it its own troubles?

There's a reason that DMF is in there. Modern diesels output a *lot* of torque, and do so in pulses. The DMF smoothes these out. Take the DMF away and these vibrations are distributed around the rest of the drivetrain -- putting more strain on the gearbox as well as feeding back up to the engine, putting pressure on the crankshaft, engine mounts etc.

The DMF is, in effect, a sacrificial part that is used to compensate for a fundamentally unbalanced design. It's a fudge, and fudges rarely end well. The same is true of DPFs.

the feedback genrally in converting back is that it actually made the car feel allot better that was what the feed back was from people purchasing the kits when i worked in a motor factors. a taxi firm bought three kits after one of thier doblo's went down on 40,000 odd miles so the rest of the fleet didnt have the same experience and saved them money doing it as the dual mass was mega bucks from a dealer, and cheaper through purchasing a conversion kit through valeo.
