If you’ve a lot of play and are hearing clicks from the pedal then it’s probably the ratchet is worn and is jumping a few teeth before it catches on some good ones. Putting spacers under the cable doesn’t work as the adjuster just compensates for them.

Also, when I press the peddle it travells a bit before pulling on the cable. I have so far put some spacers on the cable at the box end. This hasn't made any difference. The adjustment clicks every now & then but doesn't change. I'm having to double press the peddle at times, at others even more so. I've read the previous comments, but don't understand why I've got play in the peddle.
