Just to conclude this topic.

I now have the new spring fitted as advised by GraemeC, this spring is a lot lighter as a result it is much easier to check clutch adjustment free play.

many thanks for all your support with this

 

Here is the new spring in situ

What was the fault? Asking for future reference

Basically adjustment.
I have never driven the car so did not know how the clutch should feel. The new return spring is quite heavy, When I was pushing the pedal I thought it was disengaging the clutch, but all I was doing was stretching the spring. In addition the hydraulics were full of air.
Once bled & adjusted the clutch now disengages, albeit a bit heavier than I thought it should be.
Rather embarrassing.

Dont feel embarrassed, you didn't know the answer to the fault so had to ask. Answering a question that you don't know the answer to is why forums are still in existence 😊

Please don't hesitate to ask about anything you query

I find these forums very good. If you have a problem, ask, someone else has probably had the same problem and has a resolution to the issue.
