Citroen C3 accl. pedal is below the level of the brake pedal. My wife finds this awkward. Any idea where to get pedal blocks. Been on web to no avail. I also have the same problem with my C4.

Not a good idea. If you miss-step the brakes, you will hit the accelerator. Could kill someone else.

The accelerator pedal is lower than the brake pedal for a very good reason. You do not want to press accelerator pedal in an emergency when trying for the brake.

Don't move the pedal. The car was designed liek that for a reason. It is not a problem. This helps to keep the gass pedal out of the way in panic breaking where somewhone just slams their foot on a pedal in an emergancie situation. This slightly farther back gas pedal reduces the risk of slamming on the gas in an emergancy and causeing more damage.

It is not a problem - it is a safety feature. The pedals are arranged this way to prevent the accelerator being depressed at the same time as the brake.
Interfering with it is an offence, under the Construction and Use Regulations 1974 (Amended 1992).

Bad idea. It would make it much more likely that someone would hit the accelerator when they tried to stomp on the brake. You need have the brake pedal higher because you need to put a lot more pressure on it.

for the time being move the seat foward so that it makes it easier. just make sure it doesn't get awkward when you are braking.
i wouldn't recommend this but i think if you remove the pedal you can adjust where it sits.
