A friend of mine said that my clutch pedal sits to high..so he put his hand in the engine bay and did something and now the pedal is much shorter than before.Don't know what he did but it looked pretty simple.Question is,no harm done right?sorry for being ignorant.

yes the MOT man is wrong!

also the clutch cable is only pulling a lever on the gearbox, so make sure the lever o the gearbox, and also the pivot on the pedal box are well greases
