to get the plastic thingy out of the metal lever arm, you need to pull the cable (from behind the arm) towards you, this makes the cable slightly slack and then you can release the plastic adjuster thingy from the metal arm. | |

sorry to be such a nuisance chaps, but i had another go at it this morning and i cant get the plastic thingy out of the clutch release lever, you dont mean the bit where it is attatched to the gearbox casing itself, that has a slot in it, but even if i could get it out of that it wouldnt help would it. | |

if ur clutch is newish, u may find its hard to remove the cable from the metal arm...this is why i said to pull the cable towards u to help free up sum space! | |

ok thanks james, i know what plastic thigy you mean, it didnt look as if it came out of where it was though, but if your saying it does that makes a lot of sense, i was obviously doing it wrong, cheers mate, very helpfull. | |

thanks james, yeah i been adjusting it as i said, but i turn the nut which is obviously part of the cable, so when i let go of the nut the cable twists back to where it was, i guess the cable should maybe turn freely throughout the complete lenght of the outer cable ???????? | |

just adjust it until the peddel is slightly above the break peddel, but more importantly until it feels fine and ur missus is happy with its possition. | |

my missus has a L reg Corsa Merit, the clutch pedal is lower than the brake pedal so according to the Haynes Manual it should be a little above the brake pedal. |
