It will come as a 3 piece kit. clutch, pressure plate and CSC (Concentric Slave Cylinder)
Getting to it is a pain in the bahookie though.
if you put it in gear with the engine off abd it moves when you start with no clutch presses the master or slave has gone. if it doesnt move then the clutch has gone.
you should heat a change in sound in neutral with the engine running when the clutch is depressed.
check for leaking brake fluid too. The master is fed from the brake reservoir. there will be a small hose taken off from just under the min level.

Before you rip the box out, swear like a trooper, check the linkage.
They used to fit a PTFE bushes in the joints, they break up and fall out. They were £0:32p + VAT from Mr Ford.

He says they engage fine when the engine isn't running so if the gears are crunching then it's unlikely to be the linkage.

yes it goes into all gears when engine isn't running.
it grinds when I try to put it in reverse but forward gears it just wont go in at all.
I guess it'll cost me at least £500 to fix it.
I wouldn't care I was planning on selling it next year.
the car has done 90,000 miles and had no trouble since I bought it in 2013.
only put a new battery in and just last week one wheel bearing.
so I think its starting to break down.
