Thanks for all the advice, folks. Much appreciated. Think Mrs Sparky's panic on the phone was infectious, not helped by fact that I was away from home. Went to drive it this morning and found clutch was slipping. Couldn't see an oil leak.
I'd keep driving it or fix the clutch cheap, but Mrs Sparky has now got the fear. Wouldn't let it be driven anywhere!
So this morning we traded it in for a decent amount and bought a Corsa. When it comes to cars she's the boss. I never drive it.
