2002 2L Petrol Alhambra Clutch stuck

[KeithOT]

This Alhambra has been off the road for a couple of years I've been doing a few jobs on it odd bits of rust & general tidy up 180,000 miles on the clock still 'starts on the button' (yes I know it's a key start!) but now I can't engage gears as the clutch won't release. Difficult to test if slave or master cylinder is working as it is a concentric unit inside the bell housing (any ideas of how to test) Alternative is plate stuck to flywheel by rust it has resisted all attempts to free it so far. That includes wedging the pedal down for a few weeks no luck. Having read the manual it is a nightmare job for DIY so I guess it is a Garage Job just looks expensive, special tools etc.I've got a bit more welding & a replacement Brake front disc to do. then it will be ready for MOT. Any thoughts have I missed something?

OK Steve, Thanks I also got an answer from a VW forum looks like it going to be a DMF/Clutch replacement job.
