Peugeot 508 SW year Sept 66 - Dual Mass Flywheel - Peugeot508Problems

Have recently had problems with car floor judder , thinking it may be misfiring ,and as 3rd service was due I asked an approved garage in the Dorchester area , to service and sort out the vibration . Very quickly they advised me to return it to the dealer for a warranty repair , as the Dual Mass Flywheel was faulty . Alas the warranty had lapsed just 8 weeks prior to the fault being discovered .The vehicle mileage is just 40,000 and I am told and believe this is not an uncommon occurrence.

I am currently waiting to see if Peugeot feel that a flywheel failure at 40,000 is something they should be obliged to rectify without cost to the customer .We wait to see what happens

Do you use it for towing or drive it hard? My experience with DMF's on Peugeot's is that they seem to last forever, I have certainly never had to replace one on my 406's which I have run for about 10 years and a couple had 200k+ on them.
