its self adjusting..... totally normal.
I do aswell, I'm not sure if theres anyway to change it. I thought at first it felt like it was coming out in stages? (I'm not sure if you understand what i mean) but i just got used to it in the end and used a bit more gas.. although im still slow moving off from junctions

Gonna ask the same thing - got a mk1 RT with high bite and very heavy pedal. I'm happy with it - except that if I try and powershift (stay on gas) the clutch doesn't engage again when I bring the pedal up, it just keeps on slipping until I lift off the gas and let it grab. It also doesn't grab at launch very readily.
When I'm going up a hill and floor it and really try to make it slip, it doesn't slip at all, and if I bring the clutch up in gear when parked I can't bring it up without it stalling.
Any reason why I can't powershift?

Funny you should say that - I just replaced all my engine mounts (and it drives MUCH better), and I think the synchro on first gear has gone, because I have to be almost stationary (less than walking pace) to drop into first. Is that a Clio thing or does my gearbox need a rebuild?
BTW the mounts were gone when I got the car - 130k miles... I've only done 3k in it.

Yes it can be adjusted but not by a massive amount.
At the back of the clutch pedal there's a big gold coloured bolt thing with a sort of screw coming out which is on a arm that connects to the self adjuster gear wheel thing.
Its mega hard to explain but if you slacken the nut off and turn the big gold bolt out it can be made to bite lower.
I'll try and get a picture up later as to where it is. If you look under the pedal you'll see it. You will have to de-press the clutch slightly tho.

Thanks too - question though...
in the Haynes, it shows a lovely clear picture of the clutch pedal once you've removed the lower fascia panel, for removing the pedal/cable/etc. In practice, I took the panel off and I could see a little bit more of the pedal, but there's still a dirty great immovable bar across the pedal making it still impossible to access!
Have I missed something?

Its just a pain to work on. bEst thing I found is to sit upside down in the car fet on the foor head where your hell rest and work like that.silverjonny said:
There apin to work on once you work it out you'll find out how to do it easier but never want to do it again.
Haynes is useless at a good desciption of how to do it.

If you lot think the bite point ias high on a 182 you should try driving an ancient Golf GTi
