My clutch did the slipping in 5th gear jobby just before Christmas only happened the once then everything was back to normal so I thought ok not to worry too much could be good for quite some time, WRONG it did it again about a month after the first time but only in 5th cog then last week without any warning it slipped in 3rd coming off a roundabout, in a matter of 5 days it now slips in 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th, I can drive it but very carefully the slightest hint of boost and it slips, I ain't no boy racer and am very easy on the clutch, I will have to be now as I can't get it done till after Easter so it's a case of only use the car when it's absolutely necessary, the car is a 2006 exec tourer with 114k,

Get it changed mate. Not good for the flywheel if it slips too much.
It's booked for the 1st of April TypeR that's the earliest I can get in only using it when needed and driving below 2k revs it's a chore but it don't slip,at all driving like this and I am guessing it will proberbly need bedding in when it's done so it will be more careful driving for a few hundred miles, in 33 years of motoring this is only the 3rd clutch I have had to buy the last one being on a mondeo 2years ago and the first one on a mk4 cortina back in 1983 that one was only £26 fitted big difference in prices now
