just as I was pulling onto the drive, I suddenly lost all clutch control. Clutch pedal on the floor and if I manually lift it, it stays down next time it's pressed. No engagement with the clutch.
What will it take to fix it? Help please.

Get your head down under the car and check the slave cylinder - reckon its gone pop
Wouldn't that empty out the fluid? The pot's still full
Pumping the clutch manually emptied the clutch fluid pot! Guess where it came out from?
the slave cylinder. Thanks Arry
Make sure you get a good quality one. I bought a cheap one a year ago and it's gone already and I haven't driven the car much
Also, check why it went pop.
Very often it is because the lever arm has moved due to failure of the lever arm pivot. Read the post 5 onwards of this thread...

What type do you recommend? My mechanic is ringing round his suppliers atm and could use some direction, please.
DW used to do an upgraded slave cylinder. Not sure if they still do. It was expensive (about £55) but its been very good with my upgraded clutch.
Europarts do a Pagid one for £14.10
Part no. 137700018
There is a discount code for SXOC members but not sure if it applies for items of such cheapiness
Has your mechanic checked that the lever arm is still moving properly on the pivot ?

If your running a stock clutch just use a stock slave

The mechanic found an oil leak (and fixed it) whilst he was changing the slave, too.
Ah good stuff. Glad your back on the road
