Could be the egr valve needs cleaned.
sound like you have a knackered gasket or pipe on the clutch, is the bleed nippel ok? not loose

When the clutch pedal did that on my previous Omega it was the flexible hydraulic hose between the clutch master cylinder and the clutch slave cylinder that had failed.

Omegas have a concentric slave cylinder that encircles the gearbox input shaft. The flexible pipe isn't expensive but it is a gearbox out job to disconnect the flex pipe from the slave cylinder and connect the new one  :(
