The clutch on the new to me Terrano 2.7 tdi is strange I press the clutch to the floor pull away as normal no problem but the pedal doesn't come all the way back up ?? I have to pull it up with my toes :lol

The same happens when I change gear the pedal is pushed down change gear and it only comes up approx an inch, but changes gear no probs

It doesn't feel like its sprung loaded like my other Terrano

What would cause this and what's the repair

Thanks in advance guys

think u just answered ur own question here there is a spring at the top of the clutch pedal which has been known to brake think about £15 for spring cheap and easy fix if thats whats wrong with urs
 
I would look at the spring as an easy start. Looking at the way it works, it has to have one.

I was under the car the other day, looking at my clutch problem, and there is no other way for the pedal to return, other than the spring in the pedal, and the return pressure form the Clutch pressure plate springs.

Mine has pretty much, always stopped about an inch down, and I have to lift it up with my foot. Then it started sinking to the floor over night.

I took the pedal assembly out, cleaned it up, made new bushes for it, and greased it before putting it back, but still had the same problem.

I then discovered the flexible pipe had gone, so replaced that and the slave cylinder... Ok for a couple of days, then back to the old problem of the clutch pedal stopping an inch down, and having to lift it with my foot.

So the other day, I disconnected the Damper pipe, and blocked off the hole....... Still the same problem.

While I was bleeding the clutch, I noticed that the forks only return to the end of the pressure plate movement, forcing the fluid back out of the slave cylinder, and lifting the pedal, but you can manually move the forks a bit further, and this causes the pedal to return to the top.

So I am wondering if I have a problem in the actual clutch housing, which is probably pretty obvious, in hind sight, since it has always had a rattle coming from the same area, which goes away when you push the clutch pedal down. I Just do not want to think about it now, and will wait for it to go wrong, and hope Mr Greenflag will either take it to a garage, or home for me. Until then, it looks like the weird clutch pedal is added to the list of other Terrano quirks mine has.:doh

Hope yours is easy and just the spring.:thumbs
 
This happened to me when I was on the way home from buying mine!!! I was furious as I thought the car was knackered haha, I just got in the footwell and bent the whole clutch assembly to the left and it's been fine since lol

Bodge fix!!!

Ok, I am curious, what did moving it to the left actually do, and how did you know to bend it to the left?

It was weird, the pedal was trapped and wouldn't rise all the way back up so I got down on the floor and had a play with the pedal, I gave it a wiggle side to side and as it went to the left it popped back up to the normal position

I bent the pedal and Voila :D fixed

:lol:lol:lol Well Done..

It's a bit like the old fashioned TV engineer fix, Hit it with a hammer, and charge the customer £25...
£5 for hitting the TV with a Hammer, £20 for knowing where to hit the TV with a Hammer.
 
Having the same problem. Spring all ok how do you replace the plastic bush?
