Something is wrong with my 2002 Rover 45 Td. Since yesterday when reversing slowly and pressing the clutch pedal all the way down, the pedal refuse to come up and the gear stick is locked unless I switch the engine off, take it out of reverse and pump the clutch pedal twice.
Is that the clutch master/slave cylinder? Going forward is not a problem and also going fast in reverse is fine.
The car is still under warranty for 3 weeks and clutch (and all its parts ) are covered. Should I contact the provider (AA)?

"Should I contact the provider (AA)?"
Er, yes.

Thank you Xileno, I will contact them first thing tomorrow but can anyone here shed some light on what can this be? Is this a new clutch jobby?

I suspect its the master/slave cylinders,they are, if its the same as the 400, plastic non serviceable units and will if the cause have to be replaced.
I would be surprised if its the clutch assy/release bearing causing it

Yep I would go along with steve! replace hydraulics, I think its now all in one & you'll be fine. good luck

Well, took it the garage and yes Steve was correct, master clutch cyl, interestingly the block in the garage said that they had few of those on Rover 45/25/400.
Common problem apparently He said it is a BMW design which is to blame.
