Default Hydraulic clutch high biting point?

Drove my Escos tonight for the first time in ages, the biting point is right at the top of the pedal? Sure it wasn't that far up before, what could cause that, air in the system or master cylinder going? It still disengages & engages ok, just right at the top of the pedal travel?

i wouldn't worry, some are just low lift clutches, my FRS six paddle AP is a high pedal low lift, just gives more time to change gear whilst the pedal is moving, quicker changes.
