This constant excess of slipping, even if it's not actually doing it in gear, will accelerate that last bit of wear that is left.
You can be sure that it might not be slipping now but it won't be long.

The clutch slips during normal operation even withth a new clutch
It does not slip under load therefore its good.
The usable friction material is only a few mmm thick any way.
I would not be concerned.

Thanks for the advice Kev.

Brickwerks post to France anyway if not haha!
