i always got told that putting the car on a hill and putting the car to bite is a good indication. if the car stays stationary then the clutch is not slipping.
Don't know if thats correct its just what i have always been told

Its not slipping, but when its damp and cold it makes some really nasty screeching noises, dont think its the release bearing as its not making the noise at the right time

drive down a road quite slow (bout 20mph) in second, then put it into forth and plant your right foot, if the revs increase quite quickly but the speed doesnt it means your clutch is slipping.

Naa, jump in the car, put it in fourth and crank the handbrake up to the max, then stil in fourth drive off and let the clutch off, except you wont drive off cos the handbrake is on, if the clutch is not fucked the car will stall immediately, if it is fucked it'll rev and groan like a cunt. If your car is fuckin powerful it'll drive off with the rear wheels locked.
