Hi all,

I bought my Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi under a year ago from Carcraft (July - I know but I was desperate for a car). It's been running fine with no problems, I let my mate have a little drive and he asked me why my clutch was so high - bearing in mind I know very little about cars. The clutch is very high indeed come to think about it, it's almost at the very top. I'm guessing this means it's about to go? If so how long do you think I'll have left on it? It's going in for it's MOT in April so if it needs replacing I'm hoping it'll hold so I can get everything done in more or less one go.
I don't have any trouble with it when driving and it's been like this even since I bought it. I've been looking on forums and some have said they it could be because it’s a new(ish) car and new cars tend to have higher clutches, but I'm not sure. What are you opinions?
Thanks in advance.

Oh it's only just done over 40K (32K when I bought it)
