To all manual scorpio drivers...

... I was just wondering where is the biting point of your clutch is as mine bites only on the last inch and a half of travel and i'm not sure if this is the norm for hydraulic clutches or whether it needs replacing

Mines not much further from that - been wondering myself as sometimes the car judders when pulling away!

Haven't really given it much thought, but I believe mine starts before that. Will check later on today.

If you mean it bites about an inch or so from fully released position then I'd not worry - if it bites right near the floor that would indicate air in the hydraulic system or possible low fluid.
There may be some means of adjusting it at the pedal but without looking I don't know...

My clutch works from half to bottom. When i bought the car it had the adjusting screw "out of it's place" and it was a hell to change gears.....

Judging from what people have said and how it drives i think the clutch is nearing the end of its life  Just been down to Ford's to see how much a clutch would be, the damage was £91 plus i get back about £9 if i bring the old one back. Now its a 4-5 days wait til i pick it up and then lots of fun fitting it...
Matt
p.s. thought i'd ask about a new clutch release bearing whilst i was there, 180 odd quid!! maybe not then

You might want to try a non-FMD source - last time I bought a clutch for a Sierra (admittedly it was the N type gearbox, not the MT-75) a remanufactured one cost around £30-£40 and that included pressure plate and release bearing. Was several years ago though...

That price did include the pressure plate, i got the clutch on discount and it would have been around the £140 amount without! If i didn't work at Fords then i would go for non-ford stuff, but seeing as it costs me the about same i might as well go for stuff i know was definately meant for the car 
Thanks everyone for checking,
Matt
