Sounds like something is up with your clutch master cylinder then. Or is there a spring on the pedal broken/missing?

It's not too bad of a job to do; re bleeding, the easiest way that I found was to put a tube on the end of the bleed nipple, then immerse the other end of the tube in a bottle with a bit of brake fluid, fill the reservoir, open the nipple and then just sit in the cabin and keep pumping the pedal, once you have good feel, close the nipple and you're done. Just make sure you keep checking that the reservoir does not empty.
