So just had go at starting the van while in gear. Nothing, can put it in and out of all gears without trying to pull away. So I'm guessing you are right and it is stuck in dipped clutch position.

Quick update
The plunger seems to be sitting where it should be so I'm still at a loss as to what to do next.

I will try and have a better look over the weekend.
