Clutch slippage in Mitsubishi Outlander
I bought a used (2010) Mitsubishi Outlander last year. I towed my caravan last week and noticed clutch slipping in high gears only. The car has done 30,000 miles. Should I have to pay or should I call dealer to see if it's covered under the warranty?

You might have a claim against the dealer who sold you the car. But he will inevitably counterclaim that you abused the clutch and DMF while towing your caravan. Still worth a try.
