Yes, may be these all apply, but he (the dealer) *might* be quite right!

I would certainly give it a little time to bed in first. If the problem persists after a few hundred miles, take it back and complain. Remember that according to the "supply of goods and services regulations 2002" any fault which comes to light within the first six months is deemed to have been there at the time of supply unless the supplier can prove that it was not.

Thanks for your replys Chris

AND DONT FORGET BRIAN ASWELL .HE HAS TOLD YOU SOMETHINGS ASWELL.. FROM CHRIS ADDLESTONE SURREY,ALSO BRIAN SOME PLACE IN ADDLESTONE.

Something wrong. Never heard of a clutch needing to be bedded in (brakes yes). First check would be engine and gearbox mountings. If they're ok, it's inside the housing. As said- contaminated friction surface, release bearing and/or diaphragm spring faulty. DaveK.
