.... i'm being a typical blonde by being a rubbish driver at the mo
I passed my test before Christmas, and haven't drove since.... Until i got my new (old) car on Saturday
It's an R reg Ford Escort Encore 1.3 (dark green if you were interested
)
Okay so i'm really rusty with the driving, things like changing straight into second gear when set off etc, i find it hardest when in really slow moving traffic to keep the speed slow enough to not keep stopping, it feels like i need to use the brakes even after i've only touched the gas in 1st a tiny bit.
Anyway, i wanted to take it to a garage because it seems to have something wrong with it, or is it me? My boyfriend drove it and said it's not just me so i guess it's the car.
The problem is, sometimes when i come off the gas and press down the clutch to change gear or brake to stop, it revs quite loudly. If i free wheel it with just the clutch down while moving slowly it revs, and sometimes it stalls. Now, i'm deffo not on the gas when this happens, and also i make sure the clutch is all the way down....
Any idea what this is? And if it's dangerous or expensive to fix?
