Clutch failure

Post by Gruss »

Hi everyone I'm new to the forum and would really appreciate some advice/info. I own a 2ltr blue motion on a 16 plate with 16000 miles (10000 when bought 6 months ago) . A couple of days ago as I tried to change gear the clutch pedal stayed on floor . I coasted to a halt and then loads of dark grey smoke came out of engine bay. Bonnet up the smoke continued for about 5 mins. Car recovered to dealer . Gearbox out and they say that clutch flywheel and slave need replaced as they melted due to excessive heat - and it's my fault!? I have been driving for 30 years and never replaced a clutch . Are they correct , how can this happen ? They are talking over £1100 to fix ! Please help!
