:mad:
Car had slight rattle coming from clutch and when pressed foot on clutch it went away. Booked into garage and they fitted a new clutch and said that when they did this they found the master slave cylinder was leaking as well so they replaced that while they were there. Got the car back and it has been fine for the past couple of weeks but started it up yesterday to let other half put his car in the garage and while my foot was on the clutch and brake the car revs started to go up like it was trying to make the car go even though I hadn't let my foot off the clutch. Tried to take the car out of reverse and it was stuck, pulled the hand brake on, the revs kept climbing and then the car stalled. Felt I was fighting against the car as it just wanted to go (like a car possessed! :rolleyes: )
At this point I managed to force it out of reverse but the clutch was stuck to the floor, put my foot underneath and managed to pull it back up. Started the car up again and it was fine. Let me put the car in reverse and park it no problems.
Other half is going to call the garage tomorrow and hoping this will be covered under the work that they did as the cars warranty expired last week :mad: . I just hope they don't try say that its not related to the work that they did. I know the work has 6 mnth warranty on it.
Anyone else experienced this? Other half thinks its to do with the hydraulics.
