you need to change to a mk4 pedal by the sounds of things.

Is it an AP clutch

Sounds like your ratchet and pawl mechanism is gubbed and not adjusting the clutch. Try levering the clutch arm with a large bar, and then have someone depress the clutch pedal. This should sort it on a temp basis, but will eventually slip down again.

The ratchet and pawl parts are easily avaliable from Ford and come to about 13 quid.
