The Mégane II Owners' Club

Help needed I've got a mk2 megane vvt Estate & recently its started driving as clutch is slipping once engine reaches temperature it isn't consistent & doing everything I've been told to do to check clutch setting off in 4th, getting to 30 in 3rd & putting foot down etc is showing it isn't clutch. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Had to have my clutch replaced last Sept.
I knew it was on it's way out as hard acceleration when needed just wasn't there and you start getting an obvious smell coming from what I guess is the clutch plates slipping and overheating.
Don't do as I did and leave it too late, then drive on the motorway in a hilly area and have the car revving like crazy and not going anywhere and then have to call the RAC out to tow you to the nearest Mr Clutch.
A new clutch was needed (£500) but the inconvenience of having the work done 50 miles from where I live and having to catch a train home and then back to pick it up which added another £40 in fares to the bill.

cheers for responding. It's confusing because it's not doing any of standard tests to check just occasionally uphill, downhill or on flat if I put foot down too fast it revs high but speed doesn't go with it then it suddenly just bursts into life. also there's no smell.
