gear change a bit sloppy
the engine is ticking over at 950 is this right as its a touch rough
handles lovely

Very hard to diagnose from a description. If you have a friend/neighbour who's a diesel driver, get them to sit in the car with you and give their opinion.

Euro Car parts show the 110 motor (Leon?) as having a DMF.

Sounds like it could be the DMF or cluch is knacked. Could need the lot changing.

Having changed a couple i'm also fairly confident is has a dmf but without either contatcting seat with the chassis number or removing the box there is not certain way of knowing.

thanks boys
the vibration is when i just touch peddle
the clutch is heavy and feels wobbly and definately strange

If the clutch isnt alighned then the gearbox wont fit back in place, so thats not very likely, it seems more probable to be an engine mount or if they used a cheap, sh1tty reconditioned clutch it may have failled again - not an impossibility.

Clutch felt. Heavier than my old punto but don't everything sales guy says service will sort it
remember it was coming from main dealer full history seat approved warranty etc etc
