My car's going back to the garage for the 4th time in January as they've not been able to fix my problem with the heater control, you turn it to cold and the engine fan will come on and the temp gauge wobbles, although I must say it is better now they've changed the control valve for the second time.

The alarming thing is the power problem, for which I had a new clutch, seems to be creeping back in. After travelling at a slow speed in traffic for 10 minutes there's hardly any power when I try to pull away again afterwards, this seems to last until I stop and turn the engine off, after that it's back to normal.
Does anyone have any theories on this at all? It's like the torque limiter has kicked in, so it'll rev up but accellerate slowly.

So it revs fast but moves slow? Sounds like your clutch is still screwed mate.
