Ok, so I've had a look at the pedal and to my surprise the pin is the metal one, and it's intact - so I'm a bit stumped!

Apart from the return spring the pedal has no resistance whatsoever, it's as if it isn't connected to anything. There's no fluid leaking anywhere in the car that I can see, at the pedal end or at the slave cylinder. The only thing that isn't perfect is the brake fluid level is at minimum.

Does anyone have any idea what could cause this / what has actually broken? The car had stood for a while; is it possible that the clutch itself was a bit sticky and required too much force to separate, causing something to give?

At this stage all I can do without spending money is to bleed the clutch so I'll try that next. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Many thanks.
