I got in the car on Tuesday after it had been stood for about 2 months and when I put my foot on the clutch peddle it went to the floor with no resistance. It's not like a snapped cable though.

What could it be ?

Slave ?

Lost fluids ?

Check your clutch fluid reservoir! If its empty you got a leak. Find and repair the leak (Slave cylinder normally prime suspect), flush the system and it will be as good as new!

Hi M8 the clutch fluid resivoir is located on the o/s rear of the engine bay next to the windscreen resevoir it is smaller than a coke can about the size of a red bull can with a black cap you can trace it back from the clutch slave cylinder
