Clutch help
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

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

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
