She won't even attempt a manual now.

I then discovered that Hyundai fitted a valve in the slave cylinder that slowly releases 
apparently they put this in because Americans are not familiar with the clutch bite concept 
so the valve slowly releases 

Interesting; my sister's 2002 Coupe has a very soft release on the clutch pedal which takes me a couple of starts to achieve a decent pull away ithout slipping it too much.

I imagine the valve in the slave cylinder is in quite a few Hyundai models
on the Elantra it was just a case of removing the line and yanking the valve out of the slave union with some long nose pliers then bleed the line
it's probably documented on the interweb
I wonder how many Hyundai get scrapped or have clutches replaced due to a crappy sticking valve that does no need to be there in the first place

When I first met Mrs Builder ,she had a Hyundai Elantra 
I didn't really drive it ,other than test drives after brake or suspension work etc
It developed clutch clutch slip now and again
I replaced the clutch (twice because i thought i'd got something wrong      )
I then discovered that Hyundai fitted a valve in the slave cylinder that slowly releases  :o
apparently they put this in because Americans are not familiar with the clutch bite concept 
so the valve slowly releases 
needless to say I took the old slave cylinder apart and found the valve, then modified the new one fitted to the car by removing the valve 
maybe Hyundai are doing similar with newer models 

No valve in this slave cylinder Dave  . . .its a CABLE clutch

I'm at a charity event today - Brakkers Beer Festival - with my bestie. His missus has had a couple of i10s, so I will ask them later if its normal.  Hopefully before I'm in a mucking fuddle when I'm doing my bit for charity.

Thanks TB . . .be interesting to hear their verdict . . . .hoping you asked the questions before you sampled too many brews though

Sadly, other events meant I never made it to the beer festival

But I did end up meeting with them yesterday evening.  It holds revs briefly, like most other modern cars, before dropping to about 1500rpm fairly quickly, then slowly dropping to idle.
