    Maybe check with Alien - he recently had exactly the same problem, which I believe was the slave cylinder... It started off like that but eventually got worse..

    I'd be thinking the master cylinder.

    Or possibly the pedal. Are the springs still attached? Is the pivot bearing moving freely?

    Thx GG, Mick. I recently had to lube the cylinder shaft from under the bonnet as it was squeaking its head off and was damn annoying. When I put my hand under the pedal 15 mins ago it came back under full tension from the return spring no problems. Just drove home and all seems good atm.
