Advice needed please.

Last night drove a 30 min motorway blast. Into town filled up with petrol. Drove 10 mins back home.
All seemed well no slipping or engagement issues at all. Parked it up for the night.
Fired up the car this morning, and couldn't engage any gears.
Was 5.50am and had to get to work, so couldn't really have a good look around, but to be honest don't really know what I'm looking for.
Had car from new and has only done 11000 miles, New Clutch time ???
Any ideas appreciated.

I had very similar problems to you...although mine was a progressive deteriation. Bad news is that I had to have a new clutch plus slave cylinder.

I'm guessing your slave cylinder has blown a seal...try checking your clutch fluid level in your footwell.

I went for the raceproved clutch from clever trevor and had my slave re-sealed cost about 850 fittted by a TVR specialist. They also do a slave cylinder upgrade will cost about 1000 all in.

HTH,
