1.2 Really easy to stall?

[RaggedLob]

My 2002 1.2 (nearing 60k) has been easy to stall ever since i've bought it. I know its not an especially torquey car, but it really needs a lot of noise to stop the inevitable judder..

The clutch is hydraulic and i've heard should not wear (something to do with "fluid compensation" ) so maybe some form of adjustment is needed?

Anyone had this?

I stall mine all the time, especially in reverse, its ridiculous, I've never ever driven a car that stalls so easily. It's done it ever since I got it.

Oh Jeez, I'm always stalling when I reverse up a gradient... Glad I'm not the only one, it's quite embarrassing!

Reversing on the gradient, I can vouch for that one! Far to easy to stall on, unless you let it roar. .

I love that. When I first got mine, I had to keep going down into third with the clutch down, and then across into fifth. Otherwise I kept missing it.

 

[Acksaw]

I find fifth the easiest gear get into!

I do find it's easy to stall in reverse though.

I hate the fact that you rev it so it whines, then as you lift the clutch up you have to rev it even more otherwise the dreaded shakes spill everyone's drinks!

Yep!, so hard not to shake it on the ice. Gave mine a good few revs at a roundabout yesterday, clutch up and just stayed in the same spot with the wheels spinning round!

Gawd. The icy back-streets of Cardiff are terrible. Like one huge ice rink.
