Tump sound when depressing clucth

[Hannya92]

Morning , i have just noticed this morning while driving that when I depress the clutch I can hear and slightly feel a "tump" sound, the clutch its a bit heavier that my old petrol car (which i assume its normal) but this new "issue" is driving me mad.

The car is a 2012 Citroen c5 2.0HDI

Can you hear the sound if you operate the clutch in and out with the car stationary and engine off?

this might sound silly but after adjusting the carpet under the drivers seat the sound went off.

I think the carpet was getting caught in the clutch spring and hitting the panel when the clutch was depressed - this is a tick carpet anyway.

ridiculous :xxx

You're not the first to get caught by a rampant carpet!! Well done for sorting it
