ive found the clip you mean and it was already clipped off , when i put it back on there was hardly any pedal at all i could push the pedal right down before i could feel it , so do you think it could want a new cable??

When the clip is replaced the cable is longer to allow it to be fitted easily. You now have to remove the clip again and pump the clutch pedal a few times. Then test the car to see if clutch is still slipping. If it is still slipping you are looking at a new clutch and then a new cable is advised.     Good Luck     Deano

Yes sounds like it, when you fit the new one don't remove the clip untill after you have it connected up.
