Default Clutch pedal vibration while pressed down (2003, 1.8 tdci)

Hello,

I have a 2003 TDCI 1.8 Ford Focus and when the clutch pedal is pressed down I can feel a tiny vibration through it.

I have read about DMF problems. Is it?

Car runs without problems. Can I drive it safely?

It "could" be the start of the DMF failing, when mine went the symptoms were.

Rattled on start up.
Rattled on switch off.
Vibration through the pedal when the clutch was pressed to the floor.
Rattled at the biting point.
Rattled when ever the car was allowed to labour in the first three gears.

The other thing worth considering is that when they start to break up the bits from the flywheel can drop into the starter motor and knacker that to !
