Default Rover 75 clutch question

Hi, the clutch on my recently acquired 75 bites almost immediately when easing the pedal up, is there a problem here or can it be adjusted. Previous owner claimed the clutch and flywheel had recently been replaced.
Thanks in advance
Andrew

As per Brian's post above.--Plus---There's no mechanical adjustment.


My car has a clutch like that. A fraction off the floor and it's away.

However it has been exactly like that for as least TEN years.---

Do you feel that the pedal is sometimes "lagging"? And by this I mean, right after lifting the foot off of it does it stay down an instance of a second longer and then comes up normally? With a recently replaced clutch you shouldn't already have troubles like that, mine started the same way so I ended up needing to replace the whole system
