Ive been getting worried past few weeks as the clutch was a bit heavy and their seemed to be a sticking point near the bottom which i would have to loosen up by pressing up and down a few times, well went to do the fuel filter saturday and a bit of diesel spilt down (oops) and its seemed to have loosened up the cable, its a much softer and no sticking bit

Lubing the clutch cable end and linkages is an important part of the service schedule - looks like yours hadn't been done for a while. I suggest that you grease it properly to ensure long-term smoothness.
