My clutch pedal goes nearly to the floor before disengaging the clutch, came as a shock to me after driving a different car for a while!
Is there a way to adjust it? Hope its not a sign of something more major wrong.

Yes - underneath - adjust nut and locknut are there for you to play with on the operating rod - where it joins the clutch arm hanging out of the bellhousing. Adjust till you have ~ 1" 'free travel' on the pedal.

Seems to have only one nut, which was really loose when I poked it (shown undone half an inch). Should there be one either side of that connector the spring is attached to?

Okay, there are two nuts, just both on the same side. One has a rounded bit.

Adjust the nut w/the "rounded bit" and then lock it in place w/the other nut.

Oh, I see. The workshop manual made it look like the domed nut was on the opposite side of the rod to the locking nut. Makes sense now! Cheers
