   When i go to put my foot down in evry gear it will rev up to 5 or 6,000 revs quickly like ive got the clutch down or something and then all of a sudden kick in and drop to 3000 revs, so if i drive slowly and change early it is fine. Is this a slipping clutch or worse?

   Yes, thats a slipping clutch.
   
   If you need one done then i can supply and fit a genuine Valeo for £190.

   Yes, a slipping clutch, If I were you, I'd have a look at the flywheel's condition to check if that's okay.

   Turnt out reason it was slipping was the clutch was covered in oil, and inside the box was covered in oil because a load of the bearing were missing which let oil in. New gearbox to get now
