If the rev increase and the speed does not then something must be slipping, so its either the wheels are spinning, or the clutch is slipping, only you can tell which

Never leave a car with a dealer, and report a fault, unless its an obvious problem, alwasy take the mechanic out and prove the fault, it's much harder for the dealer to pull the "No Fault Found" routine.

I have exactly the same problem. The problem is also using cruise contol. The inspector LR tried my car and decided to replace the cruise control kit and the clutch.

Car departed on back of lorry to dealer - suspected clutch problems (after 17000 miles!). Have to say LR Assist has been very good so far. Will update when verdict is known! |

Much debate with dealer - who had the car for a week - and "couldn't replicate the fault". Car's back with me - and has not shown the fault since. No doubt, having said that, it will start again soon!

Surely if it was a slipping clutch you would be able to smell it getting hot.

You would be upset without one. they stop a lot of diesel rattle and the shakey gear stick thing that used to affect diesels.

Not strictly true, dual mass flywheels are a cheaper way of getting a heavier flywheel in a smaller space, so a more reliable, but more expensive flywheel would be an option that could perform the same task. Chris. |

My slipping problem began at 24000 miles and only occurs at 1950 to 2050 rpm when in 4th 5th or 6th gear. The engine surges to 2250 rpm then imediately returns to normal. There is no burning smell it happens very intermittently, is not related to whether the engine/gearbox are ot or cold and happens as often solo as towing. I get the problem about once a week and it will do it 5 to 10 times in a row anf ten nothing for a further week.If itdes it when the cruise control is on the the cruise control automatically cancells itself, exactly as it would if the clutch pedal was pressed. To replicate the problem ,dip the clutch when on cruise control and yu will see what we mean. I believe it will become a common problem when more cars have done more miles. I just hope my clutch doesn't go completely when towing over the Alps this Summer |
