Have you adjusted the threaded rod on the clutch pedal yet? I set it so theres about an inch of free play at the top ;-)

The free play you are on about do you mean the pedal will move a inch before the clutch will start to engage sorry i am thick

Pain in the back side fiddley job but with patience definately do able.

The biting point as you call it is adjustable by adjusting the position of the rod on the back of the clutch master cylinder.

A pair of long nose pliers, 12mm open ended spanner and a small torch, move the drivers seat back as far as it will go, get on your back and the torch pointing and the end of the clutch pedel. You will see a bright treaded rod attached to the end of the clutch pedal. You will see a 12mm lock nut hold the rod in position, undo the lock nut and attempt to turn the threaded rod in the direction (can't remember which direction off the top of my head) to bring the biting poing a little further off the floor. Just remember to re tighten the lock nut when your done.

Why not get "your Pudney" to come round, take a firm grasp of your rod and slowly twist it for you :shock: :wuss:

If you put your head in the footwell and look at the pedals the rod needs to be turned clockwise ;-)
