I bled the brakes a couple of weeks ago (on my 2000 2.0L Focus) Zetec
and with it the clutch hydraulic fluid as it's all part of the same
system.
Since bleeding the clutch fluid, when I depress the clutch pedal all
the way down, there is a distinct "rubbing" sound. If I lift the
pedal an inch, the noise goes away and the clutch is still
sufficiently released to use as normal. The noise definately wasn't
there beforehand.
Any ideas?

Possibility: it may be that bleeding the clutch has allowed the release
bearing to have a tiny bit more movement, the clutch fingers that the
release bearing pushes against may have previously worn to some extent, now
the bearing is moving slightly beyond the previous movement area and makes a
noise. A new cluch fitted is about 500 quid, so you will probably want to
live with the noise for a while and see how it develops.
