If i had to make an educated guess, you need either a slave cylinder, a clutch kit or both.

Is it petrol or Diesel? Im not really clued up with your car, but a clutch generally comes as a kit. Clutch, pressure plate and cylinder is the general kit. If its DMF, then that might be the deal braker. Again, I dont know the car so, not sure. Petrol engines generally dont have DMF, especially of that age. Id ignore the grinding in second if you cant engage any gears when the engine is running, then the clutch is 100% the first place to start looking. Hopefully its the master cylinder... that way its the easiest fix of the clutch system. Has it lost fluid? Any wet patches under the car when its parked?

I think what you have said here "Some issues occasionally with clutch pedal - would press down and it wouldn't engage clutch so would have to come back up and press down again" is your clue. Sounds to me like either your Master, Slave or concentric bearing was failing, and has now gone altogether (I assume you have a Hydraulic clutch) ?
