    Hi all.
    I have a problem with my 10 c4 grand Picasso. I was on the motorway doing around 100km and as I put my foot on the accelerator the rpms shot up but there was no increase in the speed. This happened a few times. Is my clutch starting to slip or could there be another fault?
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Were you in high gear and didn't drop down. If yes its usually the start of it failing.

    Just don't put under huge pressure.
