Hi,
the misuss took my car out today and it was fine, we had to nip out in it 10 mins later and as we started to drive off the car started "clugging" or jolting forward, a bit like jamming on the brakes ever 5 secs....
wasn't the hand brake and she was in gear, tried it in 2nd and same thing, in reverse it was fine and another thing is it kept stalling.
i have no idea about cars but i need to have it working as i need it for work (when i pass my test...) been told it might be the "selector"?
if anyone has any ideas then please let me know.
thanks
Paul
p.s it a S reg Atoz

trans month or engine mount might be bad

trans month?

If it was stalling then it must be misfiring too. Sounds like an engine problem.

Having major problems now, the car wont even start!
when reving the car the enging sounded like it kept clogging so i thought it might have something to do with the exaust, i looked under the car and i think between section 1 to 2 from the engine there was exaust smoke escaping from the joint.
my neighbour who knows more about cars than me jumped in and also had a look under the bonnet but could not help, maybe made things worse because the car wont start now. sounds daft - i have no idea about cars but i think there may be a blockage in the exaust?
anyway, car wont move forward in gear, has a leak in the front sections of the exaust and now wont start, there was also a real acrid smell coming from the car that left a nasty taste....

any ideas???

You probably have a blocked exhaust
