Hey, I've never driven any other corsa than mine, but when I go to depress the clutch, I've got a little bit of play before it actually starts working. Is this an easy adjustment to make, or are all Corsas like this? COuld it also be a sign of it dying or is it no problem at all?

All I know is that my dads mondeo doesnt do it and the punto i learned in was fucked anyhow so I dont really have much to compare it to

Cheers

So should I just take it to a garage, tell them the problem and they will do it or with the aid of a haynes book would it be possible to try it myself?

(I have just about zero experience under the bonnet)

Cheers

mines the same, but i've had a new clutch in feb 2003 and a new clutch cable in july 2003. Its been back to have it adjusted 3 times an it still comes back the same, but the gears engage better. The clutch can't be knackard cos it's only done 5500 miles

don't suppose you could give me a rough guide on how the hell I go about doing that could you?

Where abouts is the end of the cable which i need to tighten?
