noise
yep more than normal
only quivk job to pop off the pressure plate and have a look

and you might find the clutch take up is a bit clunky as the plates ride over the grooves they've worn in the basket...but as yer man says, tis only a few bolts to take the covers off and have a gander

If there are any grooves does it mean it needs replacing ?

Oh yes, there will be grooves,depending on whether the clutch plates have embedded grooves into the basket or both.On inspection you will see both the plates and basket and see how much wear has taken place. Plates dont last forever unless your'e a polishing merchant,one that does'nt get out and ride it, any thing from 12,000 16,000 mile depending how much stick you give it. 4D

Is it a job that is easy to do yourself ?

wont as long if its a slipper clutch

easy peasy, cover plate of, undo the spring/cup bolts(allen key) that will free the pressure plate,the clutch push rod may want to come out with it, thats about 12" long in old money.It should really be free,it sits in a bearing in the pressure plate. take out a few plates to see the WAT (wear and tear) assess and replace. 1/2 hour job . 4D
