Thanks SOOOOO much to Ken for fixing my car!
What an absolute legend!
It turned out that the clutch pedal is attached to a long strut that goes up and meets a bracket at the top, which is behind all the dash.
Ken found that this bracket had stripped itself and the whole thing had come apart, which meant that when i pushed the clutch in, most of the travel was diminished because of the lack of this bracket. If you know what I mean! :mad:
Anyway he fixed it and now I'm a very happy man again!!
