Hi Tiny's clutch has just gone.... travels to the floor with no resistance and I can't select any gears. It has been feeling a little strange for a couple of weeks.... what is it likely to be? Any advice much appreciated!

Is there any oil in the master cylinder?
Probably seals in the slave cylinder are gone and have leaked all fluid.

Hopefully you don't have OIL in your MC....but brake fluid.
Pull the dust cover off the slave and check for fluid...if present, it's leaky. Also check the floor by the pedal....might be the MC leaking.

It'll be master cylinder, slave cylinder or a split flexible pipe (unlikely).
Can't tell without actually looking at it.

I've checked the clutch fluid reservoir and it's still full. I can get all gears when the engine is off but none when it's running.... going to call someone out I think!! Don't really know what I'm doing with this. Thanks for advice!
