Multiple Suspension and Clutch Pedal Issues

if clutch and cable are new and self adjust you have to live with it, as for throttle, stop stamping on it.

Regarding the clutch, since it's recently been replaced, i'd hazard a guess that the cable hasn't been fitted properly - they're a sod to get seated and i've seen a fair few where the mechanic has obviously just given up and left it. The problem area is just under the brake servo - there's a grommet that should be seated nicely in the bulkhead. They can also go a bit funny if not routed correctly, check it isn't wedged anywhere and is routed with nice smooth curves, should be clipped onto the subframe halfway along. Another thing to check is the spring on the pedal - get rid of it then stamp on the clutch and slip your foot off so it bangs back up, that should force the self-adjuster to sort itself out. Failing all that the clutch isn't quite right.

So after toying about with what the issue could be, I ended up replacing the left rear trailing arm bearings, after this I went on to fix the issue with the suspension, turns out it was the front left balljoint and wishbone bushes, so those got replaced aswell, as for the clutch..it's too low not too high, which in reality is quite nice on a petrol..the throttle still remains to have about 75% power in the first 25% of applied pressure which doesn't seem right..although I'm sure it just takes getting used to..
