item 30 - (pipe and diaphragm) has been known to cause a similar issue where you need to pull the clutch pedal back up (part number pending your engine type)!

Thanks mate, I will bear this in mind if the bleed doesn't fix it. This is the 2nd day with no problems, very odd...

Mines doing this a lot lately but only when it's cold. Once it warms up its fine. my master cylinder was replaced a couple of years ago so I don't think it's that I'm thinking it's the slave cylinder.

I think that would affect the brakes though would it not?
Am going to price that pipe (above) see how that goes.
Mine hadn't done it for a couple of weeks then it done it twice today. It isn't that big a deal i don't think, aslong it doesn't damage anything else.

I was sat in the car earlier and I managed to get the clutch to stick again. This time the engine wasn't running and as I pumping the clutch it started to stick and each successive pump it stuck further down. I then turned the engine on to see if it would release the clutch but it stayed down and when I tried to select a gear I
wouldn't budge. Any ideas? If I pulled it up again it sprang back to normal.

Give it a bleed first. As it used brake fluid, ideally it should be changed every couple of years. Hardly anyone does change it though.
