Hi Simon

Ah, that is just the clutch sticking because it=E2=80=99s a new one. To =
bed it in quicker, you can floor it up a hill, engage od and flick it =
back out as soon as you start to feel it go in. Do that a few times and, =
with use, it will get better.

All the best from scorching Corfu, Dave.

Not sure this is 100% relevant this time as presumably the clutch has =
been working OK. Pressure gauge will always be my first stop.
