How Often Do You Stall Your Car????????

[Maxx]

Stalled a few times when I first got the car as clutch pedal felt alot different to my R5 but never stall now tbh

 

[Jim_RT]

lol I've been stalling a bit the past few days... I had a new clutch fitted to the RT and before hand it was really heavy and that is what I've been used to for nearly 2yrs now. Now though, its amazingly soft and light and the biting point is much lower.... so I keep stalling when pulling off. Give me a week or so to get re-adjusted. Can't believe the difference though!

 

[makavelli]

stalled mine for the first time since i had it yesterday, had my choons on and wasnt really paying attention, my 182 is always a bit jittery if i try to push her too fast from cold anyway

 

[Ad]

I rarely stall mine.... happens when im being lazy when driving.

 

[AHD]

I havent stalled the 182 but i was forever stalling the dynamique!!!

 

[kully]

stalled it once or twice as far as i can remember ...........lol at the lights

 

[ShaunG]

[TELFORDS_LURK]

Once maybe twice a year.

 

[Thomss]

[Mattie h]

[_Kenny_]

[Laura]

Ha, stalled mine twice on the drive home from the garage. Once in a queue on the M74 and then again when I tried to pull away immediately after

Not really done it much since. My other half thinks the clutch is really awkward - says it's sharp and bites high. I don;t notice TBH...

 

[Tyson-182]

Couple of times at most. Had my 182 since last Sept!

Tyson.

Stalled both my valvers a couple of times in 12 months of driving, although they seem to be VERY forgiving when i under-rev it. I can pull away using just the clutch easily and can even pull away in 2nd without anybody noticing.

Pulled my clutch up and kinda didn't put the accelerator down as much as i should have and the car spluttered and the engine stopped for a split second then i dropped the clutch and it kicked back into action again! Everyone in the car thought i'd definately stalled it hehe

 

[MattT]

I stalled last night coming out the gym.
Normally happens when I forget to drop into first and don't give it enough beans to pull away in 2nd.

 

[dick]

frequently set off in 3rd, i get confused why it going slow (..er than usual), then i find out why, (still dont stall it unless im a real rush and come off clutch in 1 swift movement)

sumtimes stall when engines cold and doin a tight 3 point turn in the cul-de-sac

wish i cpould get away with looking older than i do n id be straight down to reg vardy renault to av a go in a 182.

kind of ovious im not gonna buy 1 at 19

 

[Jonaldinho]

Havent stalled for a long time but there is an occasional one now and again when im not paying attention.

 

[jeccross]

about 5 times a journey when I got it, after owning an automatic, prob about once a fortnight now

 

[Leeshez]

This very afternoon. Who would have thought i have been driving nearl 16 years LOL

 

[marko1982]

Happens every now and then, more so with the 172 than with any of the 4 other cars I have had. Its usually after I have finished work driving a diesel focus all day, the 172 feels sooo heavy in comparison! (but way more fun!!)

 

[wozzaa]

Very very occasionally stall my own car. Usually when im trying to be lazy and move off with just the clutch. but done right it'll get up to 25 without me using the accelerator.

But usually i have a fair few revs on dont stall it that often do get the occasional bit of wheelspin more though but only a tiny slip barely feel it. Just moving off the clutch slightly too quickly.

 

[Da]

last week, first time in yeeeeeearrrrrs! lol!

 

[avstar1]

a couple of times, Last week when I was trying to get out of someones steep drive turning onto a main road. lol

Good topic!
