Lift (which is what Toyota calls their VTEC clone)
I thought "lift" was some stupid internet fanboy expression? My valves have got lift as well, and I have a Fiat engine.

Woo, new clutch done. Driving like a dream now
many thanks to those of you who actually helped.
crikey. its mad that someone wouldnt know it was a slipping clutch, it should be pretty obvious that the revs are picking up and the car isnt actually accelerating

Not everyone 'knows' about cars.
Well i knew what it was doing, just not what was causing it. Seen as i had never come across it whilst driving before, how would i know or of had any need to find out? Did you know what a slipping clutch was before you had ever experienced it....?
Yes - when I was 17, my first car was a crap Fiat which soon after I bought it, the clutch started slipping.
I think that is why I and some others assumed there would be another explanation (such as your car not being that quick) because we understandably assumed that a slipping clutch would be obvious to the driver.
As I said in my post, the first time I ever experienced it, it was immediately obvious what it was.
