I've got my MOT coming up and was planning to have my clutch changed at the same time, but I cant decide if it needs doing or not.

The clutch slipped once or twice back in Late December when going up a slip road to join a motorway, but it hasnt happened since and any "tests" dont seem to produce the same results.
I cant decide if it was clutch slip or if I was being lazy and feeding the accelerator in before I'd let the clutch out.

I'm paranoid now, especially as I'm saving for a new exhaust. I dont want to buy the exhaust to find that the clutch does need doing, but similarly I dont want to change the clutch if it doesnt necesarrily need it doing.

For context, ive had the car since 21k miles, is now on 93k miles. Still on original clutch.

What would you do?

aren't they adjustable on some peugeots of that vintage - I know you can adjust the bite on saxos and 106s - honestly can't remember on the 206 not worked on one for a long while

It has an auto adjustable clutch cable I believe.

Bit of a pita, as on a 206, the clutch pedal is high as standard. It just auto adjusts so it stays in thr same place with wear.
The bit point is around the same height as it was when I bought the car 4 years ago!

If the clutch hasn't slipped for a month it is unlikely to need changing.

Thats my thoughts, owning a french car and getting easily paranoid don't usually go well together laugh

Cheers..
