Hello, it sounds like you have done the right things to try to cure it but did you check the pedal return springs before you spent all that cash which may be weak or broken.

cheers for the reply?

the master cylinder completely went.the clutch was at 150 miles so i didnt mind doing it. before the master cylinder went it was fine so i am having another mechanic look at that.any idea if pedal return springs would be expensive?im a student and now i am flat broke at this stage!

and the picture above where did you find that online?

Just wondering if you found the solution to this problem?

A similar thing happened to me and it turns out it was the metal pipe from the master cylinder corroding at a joint.

A pin hole leaking fluid allowed the pedal to work normally until you keep your foot on the pedal.

When that happens the pressure inside the system bleeds off and the pedal stays down.
