Really low clutch bite point
Discussion
I have driven my Evora tonight for the first time in a couple of weeks. I thought that it feel really notchy going into third. Then went to get some petrol and stalled it driving up to the pump..
When moving off, the bite point of the clutch requires only a tiny fraction of lift on the pedal. I don't think this is a worn out clutch is it as the bite would be at the top.
Any ideas? I am sure I had an Alfa did this years ago and needed a new slave cylinder. I think it needs to go into be looked at but am not looking forward to finding out due to the "£3k to replace the clutch" mantra on these. Car has done around 38k miles.
Thanks.

It's the clutch master cylinder, should be around £600 to fix including parts & labour (price from JCT in Leeds, 5 hours labour is majority of cost), mine's booked in to fix in couple of weeks.
Just have to pump the clutch in the meantime when engine is cold to get the car into 1st/reverse gear. Once moving it's fine.
