Default few bits concerning me

just bought me self a S2 and there are a couple of things that are a concern but not terrible.
firstly: the clutch pedal has a bit of give in it i.e. i can press it a little bit and theres no force against me foot pressure then il get the normal feel of a clutch as in pressure.
secondly under braking i get a lot of juddering through the steering, you can see the steering wheel vibrating.
thirdly the centre mount on the rear spoiler (the bit thats stuck onto the boot, not bolted has a bit of wobble is it normal?)
lastly how to mount a 6disc changer under passenger seat or in boot without drilling holes in floor.

sorry so many Q`s but im new to the escort rs scene

cheers

q1= Could be the clutch rachett on the pedal, broke a few cogs, change it if not it will brake completely, mine did!, Not an easy job, around Ł8 from ford.

q2= Could be warped disks. (proberly)

q3= Think mines bollted, shouldnt be wobbling though.

cheers guys. the guy i bought it off of (edd) said that hes sending me a clutch rachet and bearings so il have the bits just need to find out how to do it.
the wobbling in spoiler is only minor but unless its bolted from underneath i think mine is stuck onto the boot(the middle section support)
