It will definately be looked at just wanted a rough idea of what people thought. I thought the clutch might be going a while ago, my biting point was really high on the clutch and reverse was a pain to get in so it would make sense to me that something was wrong with the clutch, but didn't know enough about cars to be sure.

Nope still drive in the same shoes i always have. If I pushed the pedal down any further it would go threw the floor =D

Well that would be alot better than needing a new gearbox thats for sure! much cheaper solution anyway!

Starting to sound suspiciously like a hydraulic system with the master cylinder past its best. Leave it for a while and the air in the system bubbles out, giving the clutch back, use it and you pump more in.

Have a look under the bonnet for a clutch resevoir and if it's got one, see if the fluid level's down.

It's definitely a hydraulic system.

Check the fluid levels in the combined brake/clutch hydraulic reservoir.

Look under the bonnet.

It's the plastic container behind the engine, near the bulkhead, to the passenger side.

Gently wobble it to view the fluid level inside.

This may be low, and need topping up.

The fluid feeding the clutch [master cylinder] has it's own 'compartment'..so that if fluid levels fall [as they can do]...the clutch operation starts to fail first. Brake operation remains good, however.

ON your model year, there is also a pressure valve in the clutch circuit [apparently...mine is a year later and has something else]....which retains hydraulic pressure at the clutch slave cylinder end. This is another [IMHO un-necessary?] item which might be playing up?

Check the fluid levels first, anyway..top up as necessary......see how it goes?
