Hi,
Looking for some advice please about a fault with the clutch on my 2004 Diesel. When moving off from stationary or manoeuvring at low speed the clutch pedal is getting stuck at the bottom of its travel. Unfortunately when it happens the bite point also seems to move to the bottom of the travel too so the car is essentially stuck in gear. To free it I either have to get my foot under the pedal and pull it up, if there's room for the car to keep moving, or turn the engine off and then I can shift back to neutral.
I have taken it to our local garage and they changed the slave cylinder, topped up the clutch fluid, bled the system and charged me £180 for the privilege. Unfortunately the fault is still present though! I picked it up after the garage had shut so I haven't had a chance to ask why they changed the slave but does it sound like a reasonable thing to try? Will be going back in on Monday but was looking for some more ideas as to what it could be please?
Many thanks in advance
Mike
