Diesel 2.2 CDTi don't want to go

Daughter has the 2.2 Diesel, 2006 on a 56 plate (UK) probably has 220,000 miles on it.

Sudden problem is that the car doesn't want to move. It is parked on our drive on an ever so slight incline and to move forward in 1st it is taking 2,000 - 2,500 rpm to set off, and having to rev the nuts off it to get any forward momentum.

There is a slight kerb reversing back onto the drive and that is taking 3,000 - 3,500 rpm to move backwards.

This started out of the blue last night and wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction as to possible cause. The clutch had been a tad sticky (but not a problem) for a very short time but does work and the car does find the gears but this has me flummoxed. Can probably nurse it to the local garage (not Honda specialist) about 3 miles away if I choose flat roads with little or no incline, but would like some idea what I may be letting myself into.

The car has cost her a small fortune recently and is starting to feel like a money pit.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Have you checked the level of the automatic transmission fluid?

Note: The fluid should be bright red and if it appears brown to black it should be changed for new.
He mentioned a clutch so I think it's a manual or stick shift as they say in the US.

So you think the clutch is toast? Has the handbrake (E-brake) stick on.

It is a 6 speed manual.
The handbrake works as it should.

Local garage (with phone quote) has quoted me (UK prices) 6 hours labour £500, clutch kit £200 and potential mass flywheel £600. So looking at minimum £500 (just for them to look, £700 if it is with clutch and £1300 if the mass flywheel needs replacing.

My local garage isn't particularly cheap and charge £70 (plus VAT) an hour labour, problem is scared to move car too far, and can get there avoiding any major inclines. Not sure what my best course of action would be (on a car that cost £850 and has cost over £1,000 in service parts etc in the last 9 months)

Just to say had the work done on my drive. Both the clutch and mass flywheel needed replacing. Took ages as pretty much the whole front of the car came off to gain access as all the bolts were seized solid. Work got completed (after about 8 hours) at a cost of £945 all in. Still £350 cheaper than local garage and didn't have to get the car to them. They had bought the clutch with them but had to go get the mass flywheel. Really lucky a supplier was open at 5pm on Good Friday - phew!
