Is it a good idea to change the DMF while fitting a new clutch?

The clutch on my 2010 Citroen C4 has started screaming and my local garage says the bearings have crumbled so new clutch is needed at a total cost of £460. The garage also said the DMF may also need doing. Is it a good idea to have it done at the same time as the clutch?

Yes. Get the DMF replaced at the same time because most of the cost of the job is labour in separating the engine and gearbox to fit the clutch, and you don't want to have to pay for this all over again.
