LOF clutch spring and clutch adjustment

Looking for some wise words from you knowledgeable folks.

I replaced clutch slave and master, along with adding and LOF spring.

I adjusted everything as per Britannica restoration's video and as per the workshop manual. So the pedal is about 140mm from the floor and there's a little gap at the nuts on the master cylinder rod.

The bite point now seems quite high (perhaps because the clutch is quite worn, I don't know) but the main issue is that the pedal sticks down intermittently. Sometimes it's fine and others it's not.

The LOF guide says there may be some form of adjustment for the lowest pedal position, but I don't have that. The floor is what currently stop the pedal going any further down. Is that right?

Has anyone else experienced this issue and if so, how was it resolved?

I have read other threads of people saying adjust the pedal until it stops sticking but I don't quite understand how to do that if it is adjusted correctly in the first place?

I just have the LOF spring, not the other items, but I had occasional pedal sticking down issues after fitting it. LOF advised me adjust the limit screw on the pedal box to stop the pedal going as far. Much better after that. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

Thanks and apologies if my post was misleading, I just have OEM parts other than the spring.

The only adjustment I have is the top travel, no downward travel stop

I'm sure that's what I adjusted. It was a long time now. If you message LOF with a photo they might clarify. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

I've always been a bit confused by the instructions in the manual about the bolt and lock nut on the pedal box..
Its a while ago now but I remember mine has a bolt and lock nut low down on the pedal box and I'm as sure as I can be that it's only function is to limit the downward stroke of the pedal.. It played no part In adjusting the clutch pedal in any other way..
Yet some vehicles have the similar bolt and lock nut maybe positioned a bit higher on the pedal box that does play some part in clutch pedal adjustment as described in the manuals I've looked at..
Mine is a late 2015 model..
