08 1.3d Clutch pedal biting point - dieselweasel
My wifes 1.3 diesel has done 8000 miles, and I recently drove in it for the first time in ages.

What worried me was that the biting point of the clutch was pretty much at the top of the pedals' travel (ie raised teh pedal a lot before it bit).

There doesn't seem to be any judder or other problems - its just the complete opposite of my Verso and previous B-Class Merc.

So, is this normal for the car, or should I get it to a dealer. She doesn't drive with a foot resting on the clutch - so she claims !!!
