What to do? re: Clutch

Hi all - just after some opinions really. I've had a 1998 Rover 200 1.4 for 2 years now. Few bits and bobs gone on but generally a good runner. For the past year there has been a rattle when the engine is hot and the clutch is depressed. Quiet as a mouse until it heats up though. I am led to believe this is the release bearing. Its slowly getting worse so clearly will need replacing. However, the crux of the matter is that I'm leaving the country for over a year in 2 and a half months time and therefore only need the car to limp by until then. I understand that even with getting mates rates at a local garage and buying the parts myself I'm still looking at £200 minimum to change the clutch. SO, my question is, what would YOU do? Just bite the bullet and get it done, or wait and see if it makes it another 10 weeks? Bearing in mind that its lasted over a year already, and I'm not going to be doing any long distance journeys in it. Thanks in advance guys
