Thanks for the response I wouldn't really say the pedal is spongy but compared to the same car but an estate version is much lighter? Im assuming this is due to a new clutch kit. The only thing i hadnt mentioned was the vehicle went out the workshop driving fine and the abs light was on. So brought back in jacked up the front changed the sensor and sent it out and that is when the clutch drag began. I have this thought bugging me that there could be air around the pedal that has been disturbed now the vehicle has been lifted at the front. It is a strange one
