Unless you're pedal was over adjusted, your clutch disc is worn thin. You need a clutch.

I have never found a weak pp in 13 years of working with the car.

The disc is thin, which relives the pp and it slips. The pp is out of clamping range due to disc thickness.

So you think this will do the trick?

Not arguing with you at all, just curious, when you have a clutch pedal that's hard as a rock is that still too thin a clutch disk, or in your experience is that more a case of binding somewhere in the linkage? Maybe a warped guide, or fork, or even a bad release bearing or binding slave? I replaced the clutch on someone's car and the pedal was hard as a rock, and the clutch was slipping in VTEC, the clutch disk itself still had some meat on it. I simply figured it was a bad PP, I don't really know because I just replaced the clutch components but not the fork nor the hydraulics and it was fine again afterwards. Again just curious, don't mean to hijack the thread or call your experience into question.

As long as it's Honda OEM, it should be good.

stiff pedal is indicative of a really worn pressure plate. you see this on highway cruisers that the disc is still fine but the PP has seen the end of its useful life. not the most common but happens.

I've bought a new oem clutch kit and master cylinder - fitting on Tuesday.

I'll let you know how it performs :-)
