hi have a r/r classic with a 200tdi fitted and lt77 gearbox have just fitted a new
clutch kit along with a new spigot bearing and crack seal. when i came to test it out when pressing the pedal down there is a creaking noise coming from the clutch in bell housing. sounds like a hinge that needs oiling. plus the clutch bites just off the floor. no air in slave cylinder and a decent pedal. any ideas

I take it you did not bother the lubricate the pivot points then. A bit of Copaslip works wonders.

Hi I put it put grease on the spline shafts but wasn't aware you needed it on the pivot points on thrust bearing

Why's the clutch biting so low?

Well you wouldn't want a new clutch to be biting at the top. But we don't know if he has air in the system (he says not) or if the pivot pin parts (like nylon cap, clip and retainer) are in good condition or even present.
