Well, just got off the phone with the OH.
She dropped off her 13 plate Citigo Sport at Letchworth Skoda (she works down there, the car was purchased elsewhere), as dipping the clutch started to make a horrible noise like a train braking hard (we know about the inherent "behaviour" of the gearboxes).
Result? Fitting a new clutch.... after 40k - Madness. Luckily, its still under warranty but I've never seen a clutch last that little time.
