Picked car up this morning from Sheffield Trimming after new roof - wonderfull job.
I noticed on the drive back that the clutch biting point is right at the end of the pedals travel, Clutch fluid was changed and bled last october, is there any other obvious problem except new clutch ?
If it is the clutch what is the best option for the least money ?? Yes I know theose 2 things dont go together.
Car is a 1993 4.0 ltr 42k miles and I beleive it to be the original clutch.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Mine has always had a high bite point. It doesn't necessarily mean the clutch is on the way out. I believe some have had new clutches fitted only to find the bite point is in exactly the same place. Personally I'd wait until you get a hint of slip before spending out on a new clutch.

Just had to buy a clutch for my 4.5. Also done 42k on original equipment. AP Racing clutch was £213+vat on eBay and £100 labour to fit so not too bad. 4.0 is about £30 less as well.
