the fuck has happened!?
was out earlier in my car and noticed it was getting increasingly difficult to get into 1st and 2nd gear.
came home and 15 mins later had to go to tescos, put the clutch down and into 1st then it stalled, tried again and into 2nd and it stalled. while it was in gear i pressed the clutch down and tried to start the car and it wouldnt start, like the car would move if you get me cos its in gear if you get me?
and as i press the clutch down now it goes down freely half way then after there is slight resistance, if that makes sense?
help!

Clutch slipping/knackered? In fact could be release bearing

clutch kit is about 80 quid and make sure you get a valeo kit they last longer to change a cluth you got to remove driveshafts and gearbox then change clutch and re-assemble if your not mechanical i would buy a clutch kit and pay a mate or garage to fit it

Why does no one on this site pay attention to anything to do with shit clutches. You put that shit clutch on from ebay and it will fuck up you say to them its fucked up and they will send you another shit clutch. They wont cover the cost of fitting and they deffo won't pay for it fitting the second time.
Buy a l.u.k clutch or a valeo no other clutch is worth looking at as they are shit and will fail.
Up to you though.... But i cant see the point in paying for a job doing multiple times just for the sake of another £50 for a valeo kit.

right next thing, the car is completley undriveable and i wont have the time/knowhow to change the clutch soo..im guessing the only option would be to trailer it or something to a garage?

As above release bearing will need changing - you can either change just the bearing itself or fit a new clutch kit, its up to you. Ive got a very good condition Valeo release bearing for £7 -should be good for a very long time.
