I have a 98 306 Turbo Diesel and the accelerator pedal has gone really
stiff.
Plus I can hear and feel that the pedal is possibly rubbing against
something.

Any ideas of what is wrong with the pedal/cable?

Thanks in advance

Could be the cable inner is frayed and catching on the sleeve.

Check that the cable is routed correctly and it has not become
unclipped. It should run down the left hand side then along the
front above the radiator and then do a U-turn back to the pump.

There should be no kinks in the cable and the two turns it makes
should be smooth with a radius of about 3-4".
