	A mate of mine has offered me an S reg Peugeot 406 diesel estate for a very cheap price with 12 months MOT. It drives well but the clutch is lipping and will need replacing soon. I am tempted to buy it and fit the clutch myself but am a little bit worried as I have only ever worked on VWs before. I am happy to take a gearbox out of a Golf/Passat/Corrado but am a little bit concerned about working on the big Peugeot . Any advice? As far as I am aware, it does not have the dual mass flywheel fitted. If its too big a job I'm not going to buy the car.

	Think diesels have a "pull" clutch. This makes it at best awkward to line everything up because the clutch fork has to mesh with the release bearing as you mate the engine and box together, and at worst you don't get it meshed right and ram the fork into your shiny new clutch and mangle it... don't ask me how I know that. Other than that no worse than most modern-ish FWD clutches, a bit tight for space, but not impossible.
