Clutch!!!!

I have just purchased a VW Polo S (Y-REG), 1.4 for my wife (new driver). The car has done 80000 miles and has a full service history.

The clutch is a bit hard to use, but the gears are perfectly fine. Is there any way to get the clutch a bit smoother??

Thanks in advance.

    WHen you say hard to use do you just mean the pedel is harder than she is used to?

    My partners car is a VW and mine is a citroen - when I get into hers I notice that the clutch is much heavier - particulary in traffic.

    Unless its faulty think she will just have to live with it.

    After 80,000 miles, it may be in need of a new clutch.
