Hello,
Im sure im not alone here for turning to the internet when in desperate need for help.
Firstly, my name is Selina and I have recently bought an 8th Gen Honda civic 2.2 i-CTDI.
The issue is this - When I take my clutch midway to biting point, it rattles VERY loudly. If I hold down the clutch for a significant amount of time, I can't put the car into gear at all. It goes completely stiff.
I did take take the car to the garage and I was told it was the slave cylinder which required replacing. I got that replaced and it turns out, there was nothing wrong with it at all.
At this point I am extremely worried because the the problem seems to be getting worse.
I am not very versed with cars so apologies if I havent provided enough details but I am willing to answer any quuestions and would appreciate any help possible as I dont want to be conned yet again.
PS - I have been advised that the clutch itself is fine.

Took out hyperlinks from other places you've been probably not known to you but they come with your copied post.
The first problem seems to be a leak down of either master or slave clutch cylinders. Now the noise is something broken no doubt probably from forcing shifts with essentially not pushing clutch even when you are.
If this didn't have the noise you had a chance at it being fairly easy and less costly. Now I'm not so sure.
Doesn't seem you are confident in diagnosis in person so suggest finding the right place for a good guess. I don't think you'll know extent till it's checked out and possibly apart. It's a rock and a hard place to know about that noise unless something obviously external probably will get pretty dang involved,
