    Nice day, thinks I. I'll move Harriet onto the drive (from the lawn!) so I
    can fix the brake master cylinder. Get in, engine turns on first key turn,
    loverly. Foot on clutch, hmm, not much pressure (at back of mind), release
    hand brake, release clutch and roll backwards.....ARGH. Handbrake ON, jump
    out. Land Rover blocking road. No way of moving it forward up hill. Look at
    Disco (shining in the sun .. NOT), open back door, remove winching kit.
    Attach winching kit to front, attach cable to LR and off we go. Many MANY
    stares from neighbours, Land Rover happily parked where it was before, cable
    nicely wound back on to drum :)

    So, question, what would cause the clutch to be stuck OFF? Hints?
