C250 Turbodiesel clutches and dual mass flywheels

[chizzel89]

Do all or some C250TD's have a DMF (and if some don't how do you distinguish them from cars with DMF fitted?) and how reliable are they? Has anyone had experience of them?
I thought the most fool proof M.B C250TD would be a manual one, but maybe not if they have a dual mass flywheel eh!
Any comments/ user reviews much appreciated!

What difference will the DMF make to the C250?

Only that a DMF is supposedly less reliable than a solid flywheel. Also, if you're changing the clutch it is as well to change the DMF too... which are £300+ a pop.

There are 3 people at work who would agree! Not MB owners, though, 2 x Ford, 1 x Volvo. Between 7 and 8 hundred a time.

Give these people a ring and see if they do a standard flywheel conversion for that engine.
