It's apparently a bearing that has gone but you have to buy a complete kit.
I'm seriously not impressed
I used to drive like a badger but i'm 24 ffs and decided it was time to grow up. I hardly ever rag the thing.

for a clutch your looking at about £150ish fitted as the gearbox has to come off aswell.

looks like a new 1.2 16valve c, so if its the same as my old c, then its a box off job.

its it slipping or just not engageing?
you can drive it without the pedal if its not engageing,
but on a plus side, you said you were fed up of your mum using you and your car as a taxi, now that wont happen,
