We have a 63 plate elegance from new only done 42,900 always serviced never no bother 

but ! Today came to a junction pressed clutch and pedal felt really tight and weird there is no slipping at all 

when on idle it’s making a weird noise and the bite is hard to find but just feels completely different 

could it be the cable or clutch gone 

No cable - it's a hydraulic clutch.

Check fluid level, but it could be a slave or master cylinder problem.

These, if the problem, are cheaper to fix than a clutch, so check first.

It could still be a failed clutch or release bearing or spring, but that's unusual at that mileage.....

Worst case is a failure of a bearing in 1st motion g'box shaft, perhaps?

Hi, just checked level and it’s full so will pass the info on to the guy who does my car 

thanks for the info 

Sounds like you are doing the thinking for your mechanic! Maybe you need to find a better shop....
