Don't know why that happens Chris - I type quote marks " "
I did notice that there doesn't seem to be much travel on the clutch ie it
engages very close to the floor. I'll get him to check that out

Firstly Peter,
If every one else replaces an inappropriate b with a ' - then your
emaIl will make more sense!
Back to the issue. Jack up the front, and see how much clutch pedal
travel there is on a single press. Full stroke?
If not, bleed.
How much oil in the gearbox?
Which oil??
Check the clutch movement first. If insufficent, could be as easy as
bleeding, worn clevis pins, worn clevis pin holes... You can really
only tell by looking....
Best
Chris
