I have a high biting point on my cluch. It doesn't slip at all as long as i keep my foot off it but if i just rest my foot on the pedal it starts to slip. Is there any ujustment on the clutchto move the biting point down a bit or is it that time to pay the money out. any help out there please.

I have the same thing on my UK95 Turbo. From a post I did it sounds like the clutch is starting to go as the biting point is almost at the very top.

However, I don't get any slip (yet) in any gear under acceleration so will have to wait for that situation to change. I have read people say don't drive the car for too long once the clutch is slipping as that can damage the flywheel (££££££).

Cheers

I have the same problem on MY94.
Starts to bite about 2-3" from top and today I was in 5th and floored it and I think!!! The clutch sliped (I said think because Im haveing boost problems lately and I hit the fuel cut frequently and there for it could have been fuel cut.)

Im just going to wait till it fu*ks then change it.

The adjustment is at the pedal:
There is a bolt at the top to adjust the pedal height, should be 145mm from the floor to the peddle rubber(2 X 14mm spanners).
Then behind the pedal there is a locknut on the shaft (12mm spanner) to the master cylinder unlock this and turn the shaft with the flats on the shaft (6mm spanner) until you have 10-15mm free play at the pedal rubber, lock the nut again.
