clutch plate may be on its way out mate could be glazed over, or pressure plate could be sticking, any number of things mate, my advice new clutch and pressure plate and release bearing

Doesnt sound to healthy to me either..but on the 1.6 its very easy to get it to slip and its been recognised that it will over heat very quickly if its given lots of revs I could do it from cold on mine

..also recognised is the size of the plate is far to small for the size of the engine and if your going to replace it I would recommend doing so with an uprated one ..plate /pressure plate ..haven't heard of an uprated release bearing though being produced for the 1.6..

i would just use the standard release bearing and get an standard or uprated clutch would be even better, if its possible lightened flywheel, heres linky to uprated clutch thread provided by Phill.

cheers Phill top work fella!
