Clutch Pedal
My clutch pedal on my saxo doesn't seem to come all the way up. when i change gear or just sit in neutral there is a tssssss noise and the pedal can be lifted up a bit futher then it stops. But then i let go and it drops back down an inch and makes that noise. It is really annoying when im driving and sitting in traffic
Does anyone know why this may be and how i can get the pedal all the way to the top??

Clutch release bearing is held on by 2 tiny plastic clips.. they don't take long to break.
When your clutch isn't pressed.. is it the same height as the brake pedal? - if so, it's right.

Your release bearing is probably on it's way out.
If you'd like a clutch done (clutch doesnt need doing but it's worthwhile whilst the gearbox is off, adds to your service history etc) then i can do you a Genuine VALEO clutch for £190 fully fitted.
Your car may be okay to drive for now but there's no way of telling how much longer the dried up bearing is going to last.
