[QUOTE=babyboxster]Thanks folks for your replies, much appreciated!
There appears to be a burning smell coming form the air intakes on the sides which I have been told is the clutch.
I'm having to rev quite a bit before the car begins to move as well in first gear.

If you have to rev (a clutch vehicle) for the car to move, you definitely have a clutch problem. burnt and scorched such that the contact surface has no grip and thus burnt smell...
on a flat road, I can almost fully engage the clutch at idle - very much like the air cooled VW beetle. I don't understand all the clutch problem posts other than conclude that every stop and go is a full rev power launch
01 5 speed with 96K miles on original clutch
