Right i bought a 206 1.6 Roland Garros after my car is being investigated after an accident.
I think the clutch is going, my symptoms are when in higher gears cruising, if i put my foot down it picks up in revs quite quick then they drop and increase with speed as normal. It was only in 5th gear last week however it is 4th and sometimes 3rd now.
How easy is it to change a clutch? does the engine need to come out?
Are there any guides 
Thanks in advance

That depends on your mechanical experiance, its not like changing a bulb...although may be a quicker process lol
I dont think the engine needs to come out.

mechanical experience is no problem
im currently rebuilding my classic mini pickup with a 1.8 k series in 
and ive always got my dad who is good with mechanics
however i have never changed a clutch before, so any advice is good.
Do you think the clutch needs changing or is it something else?

I would say the clutch! Happened to mine at Christmas..., I kept it alive a little longer by avoiding the point where it starts to slip (where the revs build quickly before 'catching' again).

You'd be better off contacting the seller and asking but it shouldnt be a problem to put the link up.

You are better off getting the whole kit rather than just the plate as the release bearings are fairly s**t so may aswell do it all while the box is off.
