My car is currently in pieces and has been diagnosed with a failed DMF and a damaged clutch as a result of this failure.

Repair has been priced at £1,030.

I have only had the car 8 weeks. It was purchased used with a full Saab history and a 12 month warranty, the warranty company are stating it's wear and tear and won't cover it.

The dealer, which is not a Saab dealer, has stated they will as a good will gesture pay half of the bill. Should they cover the total cost due to the short ownership period?

It is a 2006 car with 56k on the clock.
