2007 1.8tdci flywheel replaced - rooba63
Just had a new clutch/flywheel fitted to my 18-month-old, 18,000 mile Focus (is this a record?)
Car has come back from dealer and clutch pedal is so low on the floor and with so little range of movement that clutch seems to be 'dragging' when I try to change gear (which happens with a clunk).
I actually consider this dangerous to drive.
Dealer, however, is trying to tell me this is 'normal' and it will bed itself in. Is this correct? Or is it - as I suspect - trouser ventriloquism?
Thanks
