Could anyone tell me what the correct clutch pedal height position should be on a cable operated 206 1.1 sport HFX (2005). I'm new to peugeots but other motors I've driven the clutch pedal has been around the same height as the brake pedal but this pedal is quite a bit higher than the brake pedal and although the clutch is working fine I'm finding it a bit uncomfortable to drive having to raise your foot so high.

I find the clutch biting point too high on my sons 1.4 verve
The pedal sits level with the clutch pedal and both work fine.
On his previous 206 it was quite sharp.
On my old 306 it was very sharp,
so much so that i still occasionally stalled it even after owning it for 5 years
we have since had a new clutch fitted to the verve,
but the biting point is still the same, I thought it would be much sharper

I will investigate this further but from what I gather the clutch is operated from a cable with built in auto spring adjuster to take up the slack. The pedal sits high at rest and also the biting point is high. What I was thinking is adjusting the pedal stop adjustment bolt so the clutch pedal sits level with the brake but I don't think the design of the cable allows it to self adjust to the new pedal position (it only self adjusts to take up slack but doesn't give you any extra cable length). If I adjust the pedal height is it possible to manually reset the cable so it will re-adjust to the new pedal position?

you can adjust the nut to make the clutch pedal the same height as the brake,
or you could also adjust the brake pedal too,
but make sure the brake light switch at the brake pedal is still working correctly.
either way it wont change the biting point.
what ever you do DONT remove the clutch cable, it does have a self adjusting spring and once removed you will never get it back on as the casing expands.

The auto-adjusting cables sometimes stick and you can try to force the auto adjuster to take up the excess.
The trick is to push the pedal to the floor and then slide your foot sideways. As your foot slips off the pedal the pedal will fly up with some force. It might take 2 or three attempts but can work though it isn't guaranteed.
Be careful when doing this; if the pedal hits you in the shin it really, really hurts!

DONT DO THIS METHOD!!!!! i did it and i ended up snapping some metal in the pedal box causing the pedal to sit about 1.5'' higher than the other two. had to be welded and also had to have the auto adjuster replaced because the pedal shot up making the adjuster take up the slack.

josh1073: sorry to hear that. I have done this on quite a few 206 and never had your problem.
