Just a quick question really.....

How high is the bite on everyone elses clutch.

I have a 2010 Focus 1.8 Petrol and the bite point is ridiculously high on it. I was advised that it was due to the hydraulic clutch that it was so high, but I don't know if I was being a fed a load of cobblers.

    I'm on 70100 and always have had a high bite on the focus. I actually prefer the old cable type clutch but you have to move with the times. :)
