sticking accelerator pedal! (edit: Now with some photos!)

hi,
well, 4 days in and my megane is already giving me trouble
A couple of times now my accelerator pedal has stuck on - almost flat to the floor - causing the engine to rev its nuts off, the first time this rectified itself but this morning I had to stop the car by braking against it and pull the pedal back up by hand!!!
When I had a good look at the pedals in the car I noticed that a lot of the 'gubbins' (technical phrase) attached to the pedals is all exposed - which I found strange as in my old car this stuff was all sealed off - is this normal?
Obviously this is really dangerous and I will be getting it to a dealer ASAP but does anybody know why this should be happening or if it is a known problem?
Thanks,
Pete
