meaning if you surpress the clutch pedal it wont be pushing in the release bearing for x amount of travel on the pedal. if it has play then the pedal will rattle

as Rileysport says, does sound more like the bush is shot and causing it to rattle

how do you get to the cable adjustment on a corsa sport? do you have to take the battery out?

I have exactly the same problem. I lift the pedal a few millimetres and the noise stops. I took it to a trusted mechanic and he says it's nothing to worry about, but it's irritating. I see the plastic block (fork) that the cable end hooks into - the cable end itself is a small metal 'cylinder' with a hole in it. I have no Hayne's manual to hand, nor the money for a few days, but I assume any cable adjustment will greatly change the biting point - plus it's done at the engine end, not the pedal end? I don't immediately see a way to adjust the plastic block at the pedal. Most obvious thing would be to replace the (return?) spring that brings the pedal back up - which looks like a hard job itself. That's all I need anyway, just the pedal lifted a mill or two. Excuse my lack of motor knowledge - I may be 34 but I only passed my driving test a month ago hehe.
