I am wondering if I buy a clutch kit and then fit it, whether or not it will effect the biting point. It's currently very high and I would to know if fitting a clutch kit will bring it down a little bit?

Yes it will and make sure you re machine the flywheel as well.

Thanks very much for the reply. Would new clutch/brake fluid (I heard they are the same on some vehicles) make a difference to the biting point too?

The clutch fluid (brake fluid) will not affect the take up point, but it is good practice to flush the fluid every 2 years as it does absorb moisture.
