So MOT passed now to move onto clutch then turbo, was planning turbo first and clutch the following keep.
So last week my cable decided to snap (white clip at pedal end) replace cable and now the bite is right down at the bottom. First assumed it was becasue the old cable was so streatched but now gives a crunch when going into reverse and pedal doesnt fully return up when you lift you foot off. Anything obvious ive missed?Any thoughts?

Is it a self adjustable one? Has it been routed correctly?

Is the spring still on your clutch pedal?

Have you removed any locking collar on the self adjusting part? Sometimes they have a plastic clip to stop them "adjusting" in the packet..
If you have, and the routing is correct, stamp on the pedal a few times, the auto adjuster might need a bit of help.

That ^^. 9/10 if you're fitting a new cable to a old clutch, it needs some persuasion to get it to settle where it should.

Pull the spring off the pedal, it's better without it anyway IMHO..
The cover will just be on the end of the auto adjuster, some don't have them and on those that do it's normally a different colour and has a sticker saying to remove it.

Does the spring not return the pedal from the floor after released?

No the clutch does that. The spring was initially there to take up any slack in the cable but it can cause more damage than good

No no no. Ignore where the biting point is or where the pedal sits. You need to set the adjuster by really stamping on the clutch pedal a few times. You will find the bite will change instantly then.
The sticking pedal is more than likely the clutch pedal spring. There was actually a Peugeot recall to remove these as they were prematurely destroying clutches.

The adjuster simply hasn't set itself.
Take the cable off the gearbox, pull it in and out a few times, place it back on, then put your foot on the clutch and move it to the side so the pedal twangs up... That should solve it.
If that doesn't, it must be a faulty cable or you've still got the mechanism to stop it adjusting in the packet.

I know the adjsuter is the part that clips to the back of the bulk head, will every new cable come with a mech to stop it adjusting? I didnt remove anything from the new cable so think it may be this, what is it i'm looking for? Like a tab?

The answer is in this thread, the adjuster stop has been described already. Have you tried removing the spring yet?

Not every new cable has this locking collar. I bought a original pug cable for my old 1.8 and it didnt have one on.

Didn't have a lock colar but had a fitting that could be turned a few degrees, seems to have helped
