Seeing as my car is virtually the same as yours I'm curious to know what you would do different.
You said the clutch was heavy so that's something I need to look at for a start.

It's a bit early to say yet. For the most part I was driving to IVA and back like a granny, and to be perfectly honest it's not a particularly pleasant or comfortable place to be when you're just cruising along.
When I did have a bit of a play I wasn't exactly performing a critical assessment of its handling abilities...
I was however grinning from ear to ear and shouting wooooooo quite a bit

The clutch was a fricken nightmare though, so much so that I didn't want to drive it again before I sorted it. It was rediculously heavy and hard to control smoothly, which got a bit tiresome in traffic.

I've got a 50 mile round trip to my local friendly garage tomorrow, so I might have some more to report after that.
