On my DiscoII diesel the clutch seems fine around the city, even running around for half a day. But, take it on the highway for an hour, about 100km and when you slow down the clutch is really soft and releases too soon. A bit of driving around and gear changing and it comes good again. Is this some kind of heat related problem with the hydraulics? There doesn't appear to be any sort of slippage or burning clutch smell or any of the usual tell-tale signs of clutch failure. Just curious, *before* I take this car into the desert in a few weeks. TIA, Steve in Aus.
