    Yes the DMF is + labour etc. But its only £400 over what any other car without a DMF will cost for a clutch.

    Chaning the clutch only or clutch and DMF is the same job except maybe 6 extra bolts for the DMF.

    I dont know about getting 60mpg out of one, But i can beat that with a Diesel Mondeo estate thats done 170,000 miles.

    Ive had over 67mpg on a gentle drive and averaged 57mpg over a full tank on some trips to the coast and back.

    On a clear run at the right speed i would expect the Volvo would be in its peak torque range and virtually pulling itself along.
