The pedal can be adjusted using the brass/gold coloured rod next to the pedal iirc. Is it like the pedal is not returning properly to the top...

Let us know how you get on, and what was done to fix it, as I have exactly the same problem with my MY99's clutch pedal.

Joz as i said in my first post, look at the clutch pedal area and you will see a gold coloured rod with a 10mm locking nut, slacken the nut and turn the rod a couple of turns with a pair of pliars and try clutch and adjust anymore if it requires it. you shouldnt need to do it anymore than 3/4 turns..

just a quick update, i found the nut and turned it about 10mm so it was at the end of the thread (that was how much it needed to take up the slack) all good now, very well done and a thanks to f4la k for the advice, oh it does help if you get upside down on your seat to do it, ha ha, thanks again for the help,
phil.

Okay.

Is this adjusting the nut so that it gets nearer the bulkhead... Or further away from the bulkhead (if you see what I mean)?

sorry for the late reply but i adjusted it so it was further away from the bulkhead, so it made the rod longer thus taking the slack out of the pedal, hope that helped,
phil.

No worries - that's great.
