"I'm sure my Xantia has a DMF"
No - good old solid flywheel was good enough for the HDi in the Xantia. C5 apparently needed a DMF though - on what is basically the same engine..... The one in the 110 Xantia though is a pull clutch (as used on the earlier TD) but with a revised release bearing - this has to be clipped into the pressure plate during re-assembly, and the spring ring holding it all together looks remarkably deminutive - and failure of this ring can cause the hydraulic actuator to pop out, which is a sealed system, and a mare to bleed. If the clutch appears to fail DO NOT pump the pedal!! Ah the joys.... mine also still original at 150k.
