Simon, not received any mail neebs.
And as dougster says they kinda all do it, a few " race starts" tends to be a quick fix but nothing fixes it better than a new Flyweel and clutch kit

The way i check my clutch is on its way out is load it up in fifth from 3000rpm If the bugger slips then its going gaga Depending on your driving/launching technique,the clutch an last up to 70000mles Some old farts could probably get 15000000miles out of it ....
