    I have a 05 Almera 1.5.

    I was coming around a bend at the bottom of a steep hill a while ago so i was probably only doing 30-40kph. I was in 4th gear but the car never lost any power and the further i drove the higher the revs got but there was no increase in speed. It was like someone was clutching it as i was trying to accelerate.

    How much trouble am i in?

    Your clutch is slipping. You are in about €350 of trouble.

    Yeah, if revs increase but not speed it is a pretty sure way to know clutch is slipping.
    Or if you start a high gear and let clutch up, and car doesn't stall immediately.

    Depending on car you can adjust clutch (not for you though)

    Eric explains it best

    I just tried letting the clutch up taking off in 3rd, 4th and 5th and it stalled immediately.

    That's not a very conclusive test. A clutch has to be completely knackered before it will slip from a standstill.

    Also if OP was going up a hill in 4th the car would be struggling anyway.

    Try flooring it in 4/5th on a straight road/motorway. Revs shouldn't jump up and down.

    I've also noticed the revs going from 1000 to 2000 when idling. Would this cause what happened?

    Idling revs are controlled by a valve. They may be higher initially but as soon as car is hot it should go down again. In cold weather it may take longer for car to get hot.

    I would say it's unrelated but anything is possible of course.
    How long has it idled higher? Weeks/months?
    Is the idle rough at all?
