    What happened exactly? 88k is very early for a clutch to go. Mine went on my focus at 120k. They should easily be able to do about 150k if looked after properly. 88k seems way too early

    My mk5/6 fiesta done something similar. Sounds like the clutch cable is slipping of the pedal. On the arm off the pedal there should be a pin/rod sticking out the side. The clutch cable has a loop that slides onto it.

    Sometimes the clip that holds it in place falls off so it can slip off and you will loose clutch, the clutch will work again when it pops back on. I cable tied it back on to keep it in place and it was fine for 20,000 miles after until I sold it!

    Let me know if that makes no sense.. Hard to explain!
