Clutch pedal sticking down

I got in the car this morning and when I put the clutch down it stayed down, and I needed to flick it quickly with my foot for it come back up.
Kept doing it so I couldn't drive it.

Any ideas on what the cause may be?
 
Could be a dying slave cylinder, what's the current mileage? Could it be due a new clutch anyway? :driving:
 
No problem! If it's struggling to disengage the clutch (sticking to the floor) then it could be cylinder related - but there's much more mechanically minded folk on here than me though so hopefully they'll be able to help pinpoint!
 
I've just spoken to the mechanic I use - I like to pretend I have a slight understanding of these things first :) - and he agrees with what you've said.
It's booked in to have it replaced tomorrow. He said it is external to the gearbox, so a fairly straight forward job.

Thanks again. :thumbsup:
 
Could get him to remove the Clutch Delay Valve at the same time?
Makes changes that bit nicer. Search CDV on here to see what I mean.

No worries :) Best thing to do, hear a noise, consult the forum, go to the garage with some knowledge. Hope all goes well :D
