Help!! When my Cerbera 4,5 is cold in the morning and i press the clutch, its going down dead very low at a point that I can hardly put gear. When the car is on the road for 10 minutes the clutch is back to the normal and I can easily change gears. Whats this? Please advise.

First thing is to check your fluid level. Check for clutch fluid on the floor under the bell housing below the clutch. If there is, the slave seals have gone. Check for fluid coming out near your feet, at the clutch pedal....master cylinder seals. If none of these, it could be the fingers are breaking on the clutch. Hope its just the fluid level.

First thing to do is check the clutch fluid level, top it up, and bleed the system. This may only provide a temporary cure as it sounds as though you are losing fluid somewhere. Check in the footwell up by the clutch pedal for any signs of leakage from the Master Cylinder. Then check underneath the car for leakage from the Slave cylinder.
