Anyone else noticed that their clutch pedal "clicks" every now and again.

I think mine has only just started doing it, never noticed before.

Any clues, is this OK

Mine does a similar thing... kinda catches and then clicks up? Sound the same. On a visit to Power Engineering, I was told it was because a little bush had popped out of the assembly, but don't know why one exactly. PE only diagnosed the problem by looking at another car then looking at mine.
I still have the problem!!! Give PE a ring and see what they say.

Your are not alone...

My MY00 did the same thing after a couple of thousand miles - it's OK now though so I assumed it was wearing in!

Yup mine started doing it at 2000 miles (MY00) and still does it every now and again. The other weird problem I have is that sometimes my clutch seems stiff and sometimes it seems nice and light. Oh and the occasional juddering.

But apart from that its fine...

I've just had my clutch changed and exactly the sams happens to mine.I guess it probably
is the rubber gromet where the cable goes through the baulk head. I will have time at the weekend to check it out and will report back

Hmmmm. I first noticed my car was doing this two days ago (had it for a year), then I come in and read this post. I am no longer worried anymore

Oh it's a feature - now I understand My MY00 started doing it a couple of weeks ago. It has now stopped (not sure why). The clutch is due to be replaced in a couple of weeks (the dreaded clutch judder), so hopefully it will be adjusted then.
