It showed three faults:
P1800 Gearbox initialisation incomplete or not performed. Status - Temporary
P0949 Clutch initialisation incomplete or not performed. Status - Temporary
P1705 Gearbox input speed signal fault
I ran the gearbox gate learning routine - and all passed well and properly and all the actuators selected the gears properly, then it went onto clutch biting point learning routine - and that's where it failed. I ran the routines twice and both times the result was the same - each time it went to do the clutch biting point, there was a nasty clattering noise for between one and two seconds, then it reported a failure. It basically sounds like it was trying to work a clutch where the middle had been pulled out of the friction plate or there were loose bits attached to the clutch being whirled around - not a loud shuddering noise, just a clattering. We tried to move the car under its own power, and whilst the gears engage, no drive to the wheels is present. I had a look under the bonnet, but it was too cramped to be able to see much. It doesn't look like the gearbox has been off before, but there did seem to be a bit of metalflake dust near the starter/bellhousing area.
I can see how fault P1705 could be caused by a non functioning clutch.
What does the panel think - new clutch needed ? Any known faults with the clutch on these ?
The car goes straight into economy mode when you switch on the ignition, but I'm doubtful that even a BSI reset or fresh charge of the battery will make the clutch sound better

It's a 2007 DW10BTED4 2.0hdi with EGS 6 speed MCD gearbox, approx 66k miles shown.
Any thoughts, please ?
Edit: could a complete failure of the DMF cause the above symptoms ?
