I will get the spare bed made up!
First thing I would check Frankie is to see if there is any signs of a leak at the slave cylinder, if you can get to it, squeeze the rubber dust seal on the end of the slave cylinder and see if any fluid comes out of it. Also check if there is any signs of fluid inside the drivers footwell or even rung down the clutch pedal itself. It's possible that the clutch plate is stuck to the flywheel if the car hasn't been driven for some time. Does the clutch pedal press easily down to the floor?

Have fun in Southwell.Tony.
Yes, I remember.............The bed that I couldn't figure out how the hell you got such a heavy '2000 pound' bed up to the second floor until I gave it some deeper thought..............(stupid Yanks)
The pedal moves too easily. It went bad as I was driving it. It felt sort of week as if it was not delivering any power to the clutch plate and then within a few seconds, the pedal became very weak and I could not even disengage the gear I was in and had to turn off the ignition to stop the car.
Sounds as though one of the cylinders has failed then Frankie, just a matter of seeing which one.

Are they difficult to change? Expensive? I'll look for your reply in about an hour as I must walk before it gets dark. Later.. Frankie
TBH I've never done either but I can find the "Book" times to change either tomorrow which will give us an idea of what sort of jobs they are.

Types of Oxo cube
Oxo is a brand of food products, including stock cubes, herbs and spices, dried gravy, and yeast extract. The original product was the beef stock cube, but Oxo now also markets chicken and other flavour cubes, e.g. Chinese Recipe and Indian Recipe. The cubes are broken up and used as flavouring in meals or gravy or dissolved into boiling water.
In the United Kingdom, the Oxo brand belongs to Premier Foods. In South Africa, the Oxo brand is owned and manufactured by Mars, Incorporated and in Canada is owned and manufactured by Knorr.

Ingredients[edit]
The "Oxo Chicken stock cube" contains 2% chicken extract with the bulk of the flavour coming from MSG and yeast extract.
History[edit]
Main article: Liebig's Extract of Meat Company
Concentrated meat extract was invented by Justus von Liebig around 1840 and commercialized by Liebig's Extract of Meat Company (Lemco) starting in 1866. The original product was a viscous liquid containing only meat extract and 4% salt. In 1899, the company introduced the trademark Oxo for a cheaper version; the origin of the name is unknown, but presumably comes from the word 'ox'. The first Oxo cubes were produced in 1910 and further increased Oxo's popularity, as the cubes were cheaper than the liquid.
Lemco was acquired by the Vestey Group in 1924 and the factory was renamed El Anglo. Vestey merged with Brooke Bond in 1968, which was in turn acquired by Unilever in 1984. The Oxo brand was sold by Unilever to the Campbell Soup Company in 2001. Campbell's UK operation was sold to Premier Foods in 2006. This included sites at both Worksop and Kings Lynn. It is the Worksop plant that produces Oxo cubes.
In South Africa, Oxo is now a brand of Mars, Incorporated. However, the only product marketed under the Oxo brand in South Africa was a yeast extract based spread. The product also contained a lesser portion of beef extract, giving it a slightly 'beefier' taste than other yeast extracts. MARS Consumer Products Africa (Pty) Ltd decided to discontinue the OXO spread in South African from the beginning of 2015 with no communication to the public that the product was being discontinued.[1]
Marketing[edit]
In 1908, Oxo sponsored the London Olympic Games (despite claims by Coca-Cola to being the 'first' commercial sponsor of the Games) and supplied athletes with Oxo drinks to fortify them. During the first half of the 20th century, Oxo was promoted through issues of recipes, gifts and sponsorships before fading into the background as a part of the fabric of English life in the latter parts of the century.
In 1966, Oxo had a sponsored show on the offshore radio station Wonderful Radio London. The show was presented by Tony Windsor and his assistant was a woman called Katie. In this show they had a daily recipe.
One of Oxo's advertising campaigns was launched in the UK in 1983, when a second "Oxo Family" debuted on commercial television.[citation needed] The father was played by Michael Redfern, the mother was played by Lynda Bellingham, while the children were played by Blair MacKichan, Colin McCoy and Alison Reynolds. The adverts typically featured the family sitting down to a meal at which Oxo gravy would be served. The product was not always mentioned by name, occasionally appearing only as a logo in the corner of the screen at the end of the commercial. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s the family were seen to grow older, and when the campaign was retired in 1999 the family moved out of the house.
On 11 November 2014, It was announced that a 1984 Oxo advert starring Lynda Bellingham would be screened on Christmas Day as a tribute to the actress, who had succumbed to colon cancer the previous month.[2] It was screened during an advert break of Coronation Street.
