Whipped the clutch cover off again this morning, tried the pressure plate in a few different ways but it didn't seem to make any difference. Looking at either side of the plate is seems to be symmetrical and I couldn't see any difference in fitting.

If you look closely at the pressure plate you'll see the pegs around the edge that slot into the splines have an uneven relationship with the spring holes such that there are only 2 out of 6 ways to get it in right.
Another common problem when working on the clutch is that the ball bearing that sits on the end of the push-rod can drop out making adjustment impossible. (Though if your clutch is slipping that doesn't sound like that is your problem.)
