Sounds like your hydraulics are going.
You need a sheddist kit

Local clutch place near me quoted ?320 for a new velo clutch for my derv.

One years or 10K guarantee.

Dont know how much more or less work on yours but might give a rough idea.

i got a clutch done on my zt v6. i assume its the same engine and box. that cost me ?1100 that was for the master and the slave cylinder and the clutch kit too. my pedal was stuck on the floor. i was glad the dmf was ok tho as that would have been at least 3-4 hundred more.
