Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can advise how long this clutch will last.

My coupe at the moment, while the engine is cold, is slipping if I accelerate hard from 3rd gear, once the car warms up however drives perfectly.

This is a "How long is a piece of string?" question.

there is really no way to answer it.

Well apart from stating if it's slipping it's on it's last legs.

Book it in for a clutch as soon as....

In my experience clutches can be fine when cold and slip horribly as they heat up. Never heard of one slipping more when cold before.

I would investigate more before simply spending on a clutch.

It can last as long as you want it to within reason, the clutch wears when its slipping so don't let it slip and it will considerably increase the life of it.

It could be that you have oil on the clutch plate which burns off when the car has been used for a while, have a look under the gearbox/bell housing for any signs of oil.
