Clutch help

[SaxoSam88]

Hey, after driving getting my saxo (westcoast) back after driving a courtesy car for 2.5weeks i have realised how bad my clutch actually is!
It is very stiff and the 'biting point' is not far off full compression (i only have about 3-5cm max)

Does anyone know what will need fixing to restore it, and how much roughly to repair (from a garage)?

Thanks in advance
Sam

hi i think you should be ok i aint no expert but have had a few cars all diffrent bitting points ect just depends on prev owners or the driver if its at top end of pedal maybe you should take it to ur machanic see if you can have it adjusted befor it get to bad:drink:

[SaxoSam88]

ahh right, its just it is very stiff now. and it feels like i literally have no clutch there as the biting point isn't that high up at all im guessing 4cm MAX

Buy a new clutch mate, you can either buy a kit ) Plate, Cover and Release Bearing or just the plate. shouldn't be dear for a westcoast. and labour shouldn't be a killer

i'd see if its in a decnt state of repair before you shell out for a new on. may just need adjusting...

Thanks, will do
going down the clutch garage later, get some prices.

Every car is diffrent, older cars have crappy clutches, new ones have good ones.. its what you get used to, and driving a hire car round for two weeks is luxury compared to a saxo lol it should be fine mate
