follow the throttle cable from the pedal - into the engine bay

where it joins onto the engine, disconnect it

pedal should be easy to press now, and move freely

Mines pretty solid too (1999 Corsa B) Makes my leg ache for long journeys.

Mums Corsa C is incredibly lighter in comparisson.

Corsa C is fly-by-wire... Corsa B is a mechanical (cable) so is bound to be harder... Check the routing of the cable and that there's no sharp bends in it which would cause friction. Can also use some lube on the cable...
