ford focus - ford focus 1.8 td high revs - cbillington

my 2000 1.8td ford focus has started reving high. It doesnt do it all the time and not when its cold, it can be driven with out using the accelarator and when the clutch is dipped the revs go higher then drop back down. It had a clutch fitted 3 months ago. Im just wondering if anybody has any ideas what it could be? ive taken it into the garage and they said let it get worse. cheers.
