clutch
what job did the shop do? what year car?
sounds like the cluch master cylinder is kaput, internally bypassing,
get a kit, and rebuild it. or they messed with the geometry of the linkage under the dash when they put stuff back

What year is your car? Is a 4+3 or a ZF6?
I think when you bled it you introduced a bunch of air into the system, and now the clutch is not disengaging at all. If you have the car off and in gear, push the clutch in and see if the car will roll around. If you can't push the car unless it's out of gear, the clutch is not letting go.
Give us some more information, and we'll see if we can help you out some more.
Might want to check out the C4 FAQ at the top of the page too, lots of good stuff there.
