Hello fellow members I think my clutch has started to slip this morning when I was transporting swmbo to work, where I live there is a slight incline on our lane I went into 3rd gear and accelerated and the rev counter went to about 12 o'clock but did not increase in speed, so backed off the revs and took it steady which was fine then drove as I normally do ( slow ) did not slip at all, the car is a cdti tourer remapped to 160 I think it still has the 14 year old clutch in, this is the first time it has happened can I possibly do this on my own on my driveway got the tools, ramps, and axle stands, any help would be appreciated as we are on our way to Torquay in September don't want to chance it.
