Been on a long tour 5 weeks, ok not so long, of Scotland. Had to hold van on clutch not for long on many times uphill on passing places which were very steep etc. I have noticed clutch slipping on changing into second gear , only a bit and only twice . Its an oldish van, done now after our tour, over 80 thousand miles. To me a clutch is a serviceable item like tyres brakes exhaust etc so understand.
Clutch would probably last a long time yet but it will need changing . Its a hymer 680 2.7 merc . Not a transverse engine so allot easier , not having to work through the letterbox opening bonnet .
I could do the job myself if i had ramps etc and was a few years younger , its not a pain in the arse to do.
Any recommendations of good workshops or offer of ramps welcome , and any advice on good workshops , was thinking of Dave Newell etc .
