Ren:laguna 31-01-2008, 17:11:23 Can any one help with a problem i have. when i come to a stop at a junction, push the clutch and the revs shoot up to 3000 and stay there until i move off, but then it then tries drive it self. I only ask cos my wife will have to use it soon, and though i can handle what it is doing, i am worried about her driving it. Thanks cactusbob 31-01-2008, 17:46:18 Which engine is it?

Ren:laguna 03-02-2008, 13:04:23 Thanks everyone for your help, found the problem. A switch clip had been knocked off by the garage that i asked to have a look, when i had a problem with the brakes (idiots), clipped it back in and now things are ok. So my advice is watch out when garages have a look at your car ( this one being Kwik-fit, not a so-called "cowboy" garage) cos they may be pulling things that have nothing to do with what your car went in for. steve@wests 03-02-2008, 13:36:46 glad you got it sorted shinyautos.com 04-02-2008, 10:54:57 blimey, could have been a bit naughty really. | |
