04 1.5dci Clutch Slip? - csgmart

Was driving SWMBO's Modus yesterday and experienced what I can only think is clutch slip.

Car accelerates from stop fine and seems to drive normally, however when in 4th or 5th and applying the accelerator the engine speed seems to rise faster then the speed of the car does for a period.

Question(s):-

. Is this clutch slip?

. Could it be a poorly adjusted clutch (e.g. it's not been released fully when the foot is off the pedal)?

. Does this car have a DMF and is this an early sign of it's impending failure?

Car is only 3.5 years old and with just under 30k on the clock.

Certainly sounds like clutch slip; not sure if they have a DMF? Not typical DMF symptoms anyway.

What happens when you just rest your foot on the pedal? More slip? An abrupt jerk when you remove it?
