Purchased the car it had a small clutch fuid leak, but we top it up every few days, today the clutch pedal stayed i the bottom position I did check the drivers mat as sometimes that gets in the way and jams the pedal, but that is ok I lift the clutch pedal with my hand but it goes down to the bottom position in the floor, any help would be great, thanks

Still have air in system.. Try this: Pull pedal up,fill reservoir to the top, open bleed nipple on slave cyl all the way,leave for a while to "gravity feed" keeping the reservoir full,& an eye on the nipple, until all bubbles are expelled and clean brakefluid drips out(could take a few minutes). Close the nipple, and bleed system as usual....

believe it or not, the floormat on my 2000 Sunfire will sometimes slip forward and hold the clutch pedal down against the floor. It truly feels like a mechanical problem, but simply pull the floormat away and the pedal pops right back up!

As you say it is possible to refill the sealed type of hydraulic clutch pipes fitted to the laguna with a little care from the dry break joint mounted on the gear box housing. The problem being that a little air in the system becomes compressible unlike the hydraulic fluid. This air bubble rises to one of the two high points within the master cylinder pipe run where it can't escape. (1), By releasing the pipe within the engine bay (gearbox dry break joint to bulkhead) and holding it upwards in a straight-ish line to enable the air to rise to the top, before refilling. (2), just above the master cylinder the pipe goes up and over the brake pedal shaft (RHD cars) before running below this shaft to the left hand side of the bulkhead where it passes through to the engine bay.
Note I was also lucky enough to break the plastic ball joint on the clutch master cylinder to pedal. For this I was able to fabricate one out of metal which should be more substantial than the original.
Regards

The master cylinder located under the dash and connected to the pedal may be malfunctioning. Try bleeding the slave underneath the car first, Be sure your brake fluid is clean also. If the fluid is dirty or muddy looking, it is possible the fluid has "eaten" some of the rubber parts in the master and/or slave cylinder. Flush the system and be sure & use a good quality fluid.
The pedal is directly connected to the master cylinder and if it doesn't come up then it's probably going to be a master cylinder problem if you have bled the system & it still malfunctions.
