I think there’s a guide in the FAQ…basically

  1. Shrink to about 5 foot high

  2. Take up yoga

  3. Stand on your head in the footwell, with a torch and a 12mm spanner

  4. Loosen the locknut on the clutch pedal pushrod

  5. Twist the pushrod to adjust the bite point (basically get the free play to about 5mm)

  6. Tighten the locknut

  7. Extract yourself and call a chiropracter

To actually adjust the height (where the pedal sits when not pressed) you adjust on the clutch pedal switch instead.

Yes then it is the little brassy pushrod that points towards the bulkhead you need to adjust.

The adjustment is correct when the pedal has about 5mm free play - if the bite point is still too high, that may be down to a worn clutch plate.

A squirt of WD40 never hurts. Not on the pedal rubber, obviously, on the pedal mechanism.

The squeek is down to the slave cylinder pushrod getting dry. Have a look in the FAQ for replace slave cylinder[or something like thatWink]
