I'm taking on our 1.1 Panda as my commuter car now and the clutch is quite obviously not right. (2004 - 50k miles)
It has always been high, but it bites at pretty much the top of the pedal now, doesn't slip though. Also, the pedal is quite heavy and makes a loud creak/groan as you push the pedal in whether the engine is on or off (Noise comes from outside the car I think, but can be heard inside too) The pedal doesn't feel smooth either, feels stiff and almost like it isn't lubricated enough.
Is this just in need of a new clutch? Or could it be multiple bits?
Cheers
Edit - also, I think it is the slave cylinder that is the noisy bit. I'll order one in to swap over. When bleeding it afterwards, can I just keep bleeding until the fresh clutch fluid is coming through? If so, how much fluid does the system usually hold? The current stuff looks pretty bad and not clear. (I've never bled a clutch before, so excuse my lack of knowledge!)
