Will Toyota contribute to repairing my 2009 Land Cruiser's failed clutch and dual mass flywheel?
I have a 2009 Toyota Land Cruiser LC5 3.0 diesel manual D4D with 29,000 miles. This week it suffered what appears to be clutch failure. I recovered the car to my local independent garage (the nearest Toyata dealer did not have a recovery service and can't look at the car for the weeks) who confirms clutch failure and thinks the DMF also will need replacing (he is in process of stripping it down as I write). What chance a warranty claim or contribution from Toyota?

Every chance. A DMF should be warranted for the full warranty period. A clutch is usually only warranted for 12 to 18 months, but you are probably within that too.
