Got into the car this morning and clutch felt different. Wasnt as strong as usual. Biting point had changed as well for some reason. Drove it for small while and parked up. After this when i pushed down the clutch it didnt r barely got into gear.

Any idea of what the problem is?

If you mean the clutch pedal goes to the floor, you have a hydraulic failure. Usually slave cylinder, (not much more than Ԛ£10 the last time I bought one), but is often followed a few days later by master cylinder failure.
