Haven't used my touring for a while (a few months) & i noticed the clutch pedal seemed high - i checked the fluid and that was rather low so i toped it up.

Can there b air in the system? - if so do i need to bleed it - or do i just need a new clutch?? - if so - is this a pig of a job??

You should have a pedal working near the floor if it needs bleeding.
By this I mean the pedal should be as light as air until some way down the pedal travel at which point you'll feel the pedal go to normal weight for the rest of the travel.
May just be whatever else you've been driving if it's not slipping. Don't see the clutch would need changing cos it's been parked up for a few months.
Currently slumming it in an E46 Touring

The pedal height can be adjusted by slackening the nut at the pedal-to-clutch master cylinder pivot and turning the eccentric bush/bolt, then retightening - a quick, easy job.

Cheers gonna try adjusting it today - The clutch is definatley too high & although i do drive other cars the biting point is not right (perhaps all the drifting i did in it before i parked it up took it's toll on the clutch)
