Noisy clutch on a Citroen C5

Clutch is noisy engaging and disengaging sometimes, usually when the engine is cold - the car is a 1.6 diesel with 18,000 miles. Sounds as if the clutch is slipping but it isn't - it pulls away great and no problem engaging or disengaging gear.

Possibly a failing dual mass flywheel.
