Advice please - is my clutch broken or not?

[Boonycarlsberg]

Hi,
I've got a 2010 1.9 CDTI. The cars done over 170,000 miles but still drives very very well and up until this week was bombing up and down the Motorway happily.
Something popped on the clutch pedal and after that the clutch came up higher so it was touching the top of the lining where the pedals were. That said though the clutch still worked fine. The biting point hadn't changed and the stiffness was the same. It stayed like this for about a week.
Then on Friday something properly snapped (i found a round piece of plastic about 3 inches long) and my clutch is now either on the floor, or if i pull it it pops up the the lining of the pedals part. I can't change gear.
As the tension and the biting point didn't change, do you think my clutch/fly wheel has gone (if so the cars getting scrapped), or do you think it's simpler than that??
Your advice would be highly appreciated.

Cheers

Boony

Master cylinder, slave cylinder, clutch, fly wheel, combination of previous. Your last symptoms sound exactly the same as when a slave failed on a new clutch and fly wheel with last week. All where only 48 hours old with less than 60 miles driven. Flywheel was OK but clutch was toast.
