Hey guys

Well after being away for a week to have a new master cylinder/slave cylinder & new clutch fitted my car is back and it doesn't seem right! My hubby collected the car and he said that the biting point is majorly low, about 3/4 inch off the floor, also the 1st inch - inch and a half of the clutch being pushed down seems spongy and like you are not even pushing on the clutch!

So my question is, being a new clutch etc is it normal for the biting point to be so low and for the clutch to feel like this? or do i need to take her back in and get this rectified? It wasn't a cheap job so i want a proper job.. They are usually a spot on garage and we always take our cars there.

Any help is really appreciated

Think this is normal mine was the same when I changed mine earlier in the year
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Might be worth getting them to rebleed it.
