Its def the clutch, Ive had both clutch slip, up a kerb! and the DPF regen, they smell different, the Regen smells like burning oil, the clutch is more "clutch like"

just a thought

Why are you slipping the clutch?
I thought the newer FL had anti-stall, so you just let the clutch out on tickover and the engine management does the rest?

This is from a man who destroyed two clutches on his first FL and has bought autos ever since. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner

Twice recently I've reversed up a drive, and each time there was a light smell of burning in the car. Not strong, and not lasting, but there nonetheless.

I had the clutch smell on my 2012 GS. I was reversing with my caravan attached up a slight incline and I couldn't balance the clutch and revs to allow the outfit to reverse at a slow speed. On flat and level ground I just let the engine tickover and slowly engage the clutch. No problem. I think the problem is reverse gear is too high a ratio. I've had no problems since.
When I get in the situation where I need to reverse with the caravan up any gradient, I use the caravan motormover.
