Stiff gas pedal?

Just wondering- does everyone's Corsa have a stiff accelerator pedal? Because every one I've ever driven (including mine!) is pretty hard to push down compared to other cars. When I drive any other type of car they feel a lot looser to press!

Just wondered if there was any way around it? If not, I'm not fussed- I've driven it for a year and a half like it, but I am curious, hehe.

PK

there a adjuster thing on throttle cable, its like a metal plate that pushes onto plastic thing, just keep moving it onto another slot until ur happy with how pedal feels

but to be honest all my corsas have had heavy pedals, what you can do is get a new throttle cable, i did on my old corsa as it was holding revs, it did work it made it slightly easier but meh corsa's are just hard to press lol

Lol, I'll probably leave it then- just wondered if it really was just a car-wide characteristic. Gonna have to do something about my ICV though, was driving it today and it judders like mad after traffic! Is clean out or replacement best?
