| Well...
My local dealer has got to the bottom of this at last - after stack measuring and friction plate replacement, playing with master cylinder actuating screws, bleeding the system etc etc it turned out to be a faulty (warped) plain steel plate that was causing the problem.
As it was not flat it was reducing the friction surface and slipping under power. Now replaced and....
...the clutch no longer slips....in either direction!!!
Back to the tool kit to take it apart again to get it slipping on the down-change where it's supposed to - but at least I now have reliable forward motion!!!
Thanks for all the advice.
Cheers
