Yes, I believe she was serviced when we bought the car. She's off to Mr Rutter on Monday, and I'm confident he'll be able to diagnose the problem (whether car, or useless driver!).
We've just been out to lunch in the thing, and this time with the girlfriend driving (she's also on here BTW) I could hear the noise up/down the box in the first three gears when she brought up the clutch pedal. Interestingly, aside from the smell of clutch again, we heard a clonk following an emergency stop which could be connected.
All fun and games!
