Have a look at your clutch cable in the bay, see if it looks melted around the turbo area, if it is then put a new cable on it and heat wrap it. Melted ones can create a really heavy pedal. Ive had a few with paddle clutches in and its not been a heavy pedal once the cable is sorted.

Already replaced once with an msd 1 and now it's bloody melted again also need another new speedo cable due to the crappy burton power one being approx 8" shorter then original and as such melted on the exhaust :-( anyone know where to get genuine ford 1 from
