Thanks for the reply. The biting point id bang in the middle and there's no slipping from the clutch. There just seems to be too much resistance in the pedal but I can't work out if it's the spring, the slave cylinder or whether they're all like that. It's been like it for years. It's the only niggle I have with the car. Was hoping it might loosen up a bit with age but if anything after 80k miles it's getting worse.
