Clutch master cylinder has gone mate - very comon on Focus. Fairly cheap to buy and a little fiddley to fit - 2 hours tops if ya have never done one before.
Don't loose the clips!

Yes it does but clutch supply is lost but there is a reserve for brakes. I don't like the system but you will not have a brake issue even when clutch has been lost due to fluid level take offs.
