Clutch

Hi
My 2004 TD5 has only done 66k but when driving her along the clutch slips a little when accelerating.
I have noticed the the gear change is hard to engage after driving for a while at around 70 or 80 mph, on long runs on motorways but if I stop for coffee say 20 minutes or so it seems ok again.
Do you think this is leading to a clutch plate and bearing change

Cheers
Martin

I needed a new clutch on mine around that mileage. Probably due to caravan. Some will say change the DM Flywheel as well. Mine looked fine and I left it. 25k odd miles later and it's still fine. Change the spigot bush when your in there as well though. I didn't and it makes an annoying noise now when it's cold.
