Ford powershift has a terrible reputation, with lots of owners having had clutch packs replaced. I thought I'd read somewhere that Ford were quietly picking up the tab for repairs even out of warranty.

I do hope that's true, as they could do without any more bad publicity after the Ecoboost disaster faced by many owners.

Try your luck with Ford customer services and see if they can twist the dealer's arm, especially if the car has been serviced by the dealer. It worked for my Honda a few years ago. The Powershift gearbox has a poor reputation.

£2k for a new clutch and flywheel?!

To put that into perspective when I had a 3 series the dealer wanted £1.6k for exactly that work, so given how extortionate BMW are generally I'd say £2k from Ford on a similarly sized vehicle is taking the proverbial, especially when it's a bit of a 'known' issue...
