There is a return spring attached to the clutch fork on top of the gearbox.. check that is still there.. I'll look for a pic in minute..
If that is there then there is adjustment under the dash on top of the clutch pedal.. 14mm nuts..

Look at pic (intercooler is removed) and the spring is removed (only pic I had though) see the squarish rubber block on the fork coming out of the top of the gearbox with the gatter around the bottom.. there is a return spring which goes between that and just below the throttle body.
If your clutch is half returning and sometimes fully then I guess it is still there and so go for the adjustment.

Though where you gonna get a picture from at this time of night.....its dark, put your feet up and relax....
Also mine tends to stick occasionally half way up if I am driving the car infrequently.. drive it everyday and it works fine..

no.. check the spring it there still under the intercooler..
Adjustment is on the pedal... just above it in the car two 14mm spanners required..
Tighten it slightly and it should then be pulled up to full position when you lift your foot off..
