Angry Engine cut out, Clutch stuck to the floor!

Help! Any ideas??? Was sat in a queue for a car wash, and the Scoob started to cut out, and judder. I revved it, but it died Took my foot off the clutch, which was planted to the floor, and the pedal stayed down solid. I had to lift it manually, then started the car, and everything was back to normal, and it seems fine. Any idea's guys??? Cars just come back from a 90k Service too

More likely to be clutch release spring; followed by clutch release bearing (the first is cheap to remedy the second not so )

Thanks, BUT, its back to normal now, so I dont understand why it stuck down in the 1st place!!!! Can it be intermitant??? The spring I mean??? The thrust bearing doesnt sound noisey at all

did they change the oil of the clutch cillinder?
if they did, you've got air in it, if they didn't the oil boiled.

Solution:
Bleed the air out
or
replace the fluid

Cheers David!!! FFS, cant these garages get anything right! They did a 90k, which i guess meant replaceing all the fluids. Hopefully, it wont do it again then, cos it's a 45 min drive to them, and I dont trust em anymore
