What do you think the problem is?

Hi R4 lovers,
6 months ago, I managed finally managed to get my self another rhd red R4 to replace my old rhd red R4. The Mrs drives it a couple of days a week , 5 days ago I've driven it and I noticed few problems, firstly when you change the gears it feels like your foot is still on the clutch even after few seconds, and I noticed a loss of power too. After that little journey I checked the oil and found out it was lower than the min level so I topped it up.
Yesterday she drove it for the first time since, and said once warm the car felt better.
This morning I received a call saying that the car was over revving and started smoking so she pulled over. She saying that it smelt like a burnt clutch.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Sorry a little correction.

Sounds like nothing more than the clutch needs renewing. Well, when I say 'nothing more', you know what I mean.

Do you know where I can quickly source one, as eurocarparts.com, gsf and renault can't source it.
Regards
And thanks for your help

Thanks Keiths, it's a clutch it's gone to a garage. I was going to go and start rummaging in the shed as I have a lot of old new stock parts but the links provided by Andy McGhee saved the day.
Let me tell you Andy that you are the most loved person in the world by our family tonight.
Thank you very much

Regards
