Citroen Clutch starting to slip.....

    Hi all. I have an 06 Citroen C4 1.6D Van. I have noticed that the clutch is starting to slip. Happened today when I went for an overtake at about 65mph. Only 103,000km's on the clock. Am looking for advice from any similar experiences. Will it deteriorate quickly from now on? How much can I expect to pay to get the problem fixed? Is there such a thing as reconditioned clutches? Thanks in advance for any help.

    It's not the clutch i'd be worried about but the dual mass flywheel.
    well thats if you have a dmf...:)
    On the 407 1.6 hdi's both clutch and flywheel usally need replacement around
    100-120k.
    Sometimes under hard acceleration clutches can slip due to the high torque
    of the modern diesels.
    Is it difficult to get into gear or making strange noises on startup and engine
    turnoff...??

    Its the 90bhp engine so doubt there is enough torque to force it to slip. it has happened two times, and both were in 5th gear at about 2500revs. I am trying to drive it as delicate as possible at the minute.
    There is no difficulty selecting gears and haven't noticed any strange noises. I have to let the pedal nearly all the way up before it kicks into action and I think the clutch pedal feels a little rougher as I let it up, but this might be just me being paranoid and over sensitive.

    Just had long drive, and seems to be happening at 2000 revs in 4th and 5th gear under heavy acceleration.... :-(
