Went to take the Tuscan out for its usual weekend run - started up and tried to get reverse, wouldnt go in, and same for all gears.
Despite pumping it and bleeding it a couple of times (no air coming out) obviously the clutch isn't disengaging so looking for ideas what to try to diagnose/sort this.
Did the slave seals about 2 months ago and everything looked and went fine and it has been perfect since - the pedal still feels the same, there is no loss of fluid and there were no funny noises or hints last time out.
So what has went wrong sitting in the garage...??

I had a very similar experience last week. Thought the slave cylinder had gone at first. Bled it, didnt appear to be anything wrong. Took the gearbox out to find that the fingers had broken off of the clutch pressure plate. New clutch now being fitted.
