I bought the car about 3 months ago and all has been well apart from a few fiddly bits to get it through the mot. Anyhow today it starts making a rattling noise everytime I dipped the clutch pedal. I had heard about flywheels being a common problem on the diesel engines and it had had its clutch changed just over 2 years ago by honda (according to the service history) although I wasnt the owner at the time. A local garage has quoted me just over £1100 to have the work done. I only paid £1300 for the car. So basically im wondering if there is a cheaper but still reliable fix? Even if I was to DIY it? (I think I need the special LUK tool for installing the clutch/flywheel). The car drives ok but just makes a horrible rattle on idle.

Thanks for any advice you may have.
