Why has the Clutch pedal on vauxhall frontera gone very soft and only play in bottom inch or so?

Possible Causes:

- Low Clutch Fluid: Check the clutch fluid level in the reservoir. If it's low, top it up and see if that resolves the issue.

- Air in the Clutch System: Air in the clutch system can cause a soft pedal and reduced engagement. If you suspect air in the system, you'll need to bleed the clutch.

- Faulty Master or Slave Cylinder: A faulty master or slave cylinder can also cause a soft clutch pedal. Check the cylinders for leaks or damage.

- Worn Clutch Disc or Pressure Plate: A worn clutch disc or pressure plate can cause the clutch to slip and feel soft. If the clutch is slipping, you'll need to replace the affected components.

- Bent Clutch Fork: A bent clutch fork can prevent the clutch from fully engaging, resulting in a soft pedal. Inspect the clutch fork for any damage or bending.

Recommendation:

If you're not comfortable troubleshooting and fixing the issue yourself, it's best to take your Frontera to a qualified mechanic for diagnosis and repair.
