Is this a new clutch, and was it OK with the old one? A typical cause of a heavy clutch is a worn/binding pedal and linkage and/or a pedal return spring that is too short/heavy' but a bit of history will help with diagnosis.

I am going to remove engine to check,its an easy job and then I can check clulch out and put my mind at rest.
All the linkage and pedal bits are good,I removed clutch pedal and cleaned it up and greased it all when I fitted new M/Cyl to brakes

Have removed motor and stripped clutch,found a small spring had come off the the clutch cover operating mechanism,it was a bit bent up so I guess it had been caught up somewhere.Luckily still have old clutch cover so swapped spring over.Reassembled and refitted,appears to be OK
