sounds right. better save up! this can happen if clutch pedal is pressed for long periods whilst stationary.

thanks yes its is an hdi (90)
just spoken to the peugeot garage this morning apparently they say that the thrust bearing has gone through the clutch
to replace it with labour its going to be around £230

a little vibration through pedal is normal. is it a hdi? sounds like flywheel is going on it. does car make a chirpy noise when car switched off as well? the flywheel is not a conventional one on these and they go wrong often. can cost around £300 just for clutch and flywheel. a big job to replace it as well.
