My clutch is basically gone but I am wondering if I can use antislip fluid like in an automatic transmission just to save it a little longer till I can get it replaced in the new year?

Well, you are going to have to change it anyway, might as well try and see if you are lucky

I recently had a new clutch fitted so was with out a car, it was in a work shop on a farm like place
I topped up my screen wash today and noticed this sore dust looking stuff over the front of the engine I by the 4 black pipes dunno what they are but its lightly over them but it's on the base plate under them I brushed it off it had no smell and was dry am I being stupid or is it possible they was doing wood work when mine was in or is it gravel dust

Clutch pedal sticks to floor and no disengagement... Car KEEPS going.

Ford Focus 2010 Manual estate 2 litre diesel 110000 miles
Occasionally when pedal is pressed to floor the clutch does not disengage. Usually happens when starting in 1st gear. At speed everything is fine. The pump has been replaced but not solved problem. Seems worse in cold weather. Garage is puzzled because the problem is not always occurring.
