On the motorway when cruising, the revs will rocket up and the power drops (as though I am suddenly flooring it in neutral) and I gradually slow, after about 30 seconds it rights itself. The garage told me it was the clutch, I believed them and paid for a replacement, but it hasn't sorted it! Any ideas would be appreciated, so I can be armed when I go back to challenge the garage. Thanks.

it stil may be the clutch but it may be a hydraulic problem with the clutch disengaging then re ingaging. we have no info on this vehicle so this is just a guess or maybe a pressure plate is weak or return spring missing.
