Possible DMF failure?
Discussion
I worry to much when it comes to my car. Its a Mk2 1.8 TDCi and I got told by someone I trust 110% when it comes to cars its a noisy engine and it rocks when idle. It rocks but it doesn't move my key ring on my car but I can feel it. But it has done this since I owned it from Oct 2016. Its done 91k and mainly used on motorway as I do 50 miles a day for work.
Now my concern here is a possible DMF failure.
Yesterday it acted like it wanted to stall. It did once. It may of been me. Drove it this morning and it seemed fine. No stall issues. Pulls well and doesn't seem to be slipping. I would ask my friend but he works shifts and he has a little one on the way. I am 100% sure he will help me fix it but would rather ask you amazing people first before I go bothering him .
This video is just on my drive and idle. I have pushed the clutch pedal down during the video and gave it a little rev but apart from that it was left to its own devices.
From the video is there anything I should be concerned about?
Many thanks

Where was the microphone when you filmed this?
I ask because it is making a random rattle which could easily be the DMF but if the phone was, for example, right on top of the gearbox it might just be the first motion shaft which would be 'normal'.
Engine sounds typically TDCI but as I say there does seem to be a rattle in there which is probably the DMF going.
If the DMF is going, you won't necessarily get any slipping from the clutch but you might feel vibration especially through the clutch pedal and gear lever. Generally they just get noisier and noisier until the starter motor clogs up with bits of swarf and dies.
