I've had clutch fade too - only at the drag strip I might add. It's where the clutch gets so hot through abuse that it slips until it cools down.

The C70 suffered clutch fade on the way back from the pod on that day I visited, went to overtake a car in 3rd gear on a single lane road and didnt really go anywhere, was quite a bad time for it to happen!

I got my standard front pads changed to ferrodo DS2500 last year after getting some nasty fade between a series of dual carridgeway roundabouts. Havent had fade since.

Wasnt driving like a loony either, they just refused to pull me up as expected, not nice. Stopping 70ish to 20 or 0 a number of times in quick succession was enough.

I've had clutch fade on my old Nissan 200sx, after many thrashed miles and a particularly steep junction, ridding the clutch. Lovely smell!! It then acts like an auto by gliding you into gears rather than changing them.

I've also had brake fade on that car after some serious hammering, which required pushing the pedal that bit harder....but not had it on my volvo, but I don't have to thrash it as much...hence why I feel stock ones feel fine.

My discs and pads are due soon, and I agree with Mrs M, unless the upgrade ones are same price or only slightly more, then I see no point. But, you pays your money....
