Please could someone help me and give me some advise! I have had a new clutch fitted for the third time along with a new slave cylinder and a new fly wheel. If I race my car hard or if I am waiting in traffic for 5 to 10 minutes my clutch seems like it is slipping or the same response as to over boosting. Also the clutch pedal is very high and the hotter the engine gets the harder the pedal gets. Has anyone experienced this problem?????

Yes, probably lots of people on here!
You need to bleed the clutch totally and use brake fluid minimum Dot 5.1 grade (very high boiling point) You can even get it from Halfords!

You must REALY bleed it through. The downpipe/turbo heat concentration in the engine bay overheats the clutch fluid in the reservior, simple as that.
Good luck,
ps A Subaru dealer told me this trick.
