Help...!

Just got back in the car after it's been sitting for a couple of months (since November). Started first time, idled beautifully. Went to put it into reverse to get out of the garage and there was no (well, little) resistance on the clutch pedal. Checked the clutch fluid and all OK. Master cylinder was replaced 9 months ago. No puddles on the floor. All OK when it was put to bed last year.

Any idea what has caused it and what I can do to get it moving again...?

Thanks!
Julesy

I presume you have tried pumping it a few times?
Check the drivers footwell for fluid dripping.
Any signs of small black deposits in reservoir?
Worst case is the clutch fingers have gone, but if it was fine when you put it away then more than likely fluid related.

Most likely any air in the system has pooled into one big bubble over the months, I would bleed it 1st
