Just to add to this. Most cars in last 15 yrs have dual mass flywheels. It allowed the idle rpm to be lowered to help meet economy co2 targets. But the springs tend to fail. Certainly for Peugeot, vw, Ford and vauxhall diesels. Failure causes rattle at idle , low load. Fragments kill the clutch, and the vibrations then kill the gearbox. On ford, I've seen report that the fragments end up at the starter and as the slower turn over speed drains battery trying to start it which hastens alternator demise.
So a solid flywheel is good, and makes your mechanic 's life easier as there is less things to fail that you'll think was ok until he done the clutch. Clutch and flywheel i think are about £1k fitted for most makes.
I've lived with almost solid clutch pedal and slip if I accelerate from junction in Focus for a few years, until I got the honda.
So driving gingerly you can eek it out, but Just avoid using other cars or hire cars..
