clutch slip

[AA121]

Hi,

New to the register and wondered if anyone can offer some advice on the following;

I have had my car around six months now but recently when changing up the gearbox it feels as though the clutch is slipping. Not sure if it just my imagination but it seems as though it is getting worse especially under any hard-ish acceleration.

Presume this means I need a new clutch!!! but thought I would ask if there is any other possible causes before taking it into a garage.

Whilst on the subject of garages...I live near ML but are they still the place to take an M car to for things like clutches?????

Cheers,

Tim
