    Clutch slip already (not even done 30k!!!)

    Bad news is my clutch is slipping, car hasn't even done 30k!!! Luckily it's covered by my warranty as I've had the motor less than 3 weeks, got it booked in next week. Anyone else had this issue? I'm guessing the previous owner maybe drove it hard.

    Dodgy idle

    Hi folks, Whenever the revs drop to an idle, either from start up or stopping whilst driving, my car hunts from 400 to 800 rpm for about 10-15 seconds before leveling out at the normal 850. It seems almost as if its about to cut out some times, with the engine up to temperature the problem...
