I looked at checking the DMF free play in situ by jacking one front wheel up with the car in gear, and measuring the rotational movement of the wheel. Any play in the gearbox, differential and drive shaft would affect the result but should be minimal, so you could get a ball park figure for the condition of the DMF.

That was years ago mind, and nothing came of it. I'm happy to measure mine, which I know is worn, if someone can get the measurement of a good one and we can compare the results.

I'll have to measure mine again to see how much more it has worn.
