Left it in bits at the garage getting flywheel and clutch done.  Getting a new LUK DMF kit fitted and replacing drive-shaft oil seals (which have spilt their arse everywhere).
While he was doing all that I stripped down the starter and cleaned it up to (hopefully) stop cold start grinding noises.
On the train of shame to work again tomorrow!!!   :cry:

All done.  All good (kinda), most of the vibration has gone and hope the new diff/oil seals do the trick.
Starter noise gone!   :wink:  Surprised rally as there wasn't much to look at, it all looked pretty clean inside.  The only thing I did notice was the drive gear that engages with the flywheel was pretty clogged up?
