Warning wires are separate, so not everyoone fits them along with new pads. Hopefully the clutch issue will be caused by the slave cylinder: not uncommon.

What Simon said.

Clutch slave is over the starter so it will have to come off again - bleed point is here too. Check pedals for fluid in which case its the master - probably worth doing both anyway as if one has gone the other and the pipe between.
Pad depth sensors often get missed out and the 2 wires twisted together. Sadly the pads do still wear out even though you don't get warned about it!
