after fixing no end of problems with my 340 dl 1.4 auto thats been stood for a long time its nearly mot ready only 1 problem left:
have it ticking over much better now...... ive driven it up and down the road a bit and it all seems ok ..
however if i stop with the car pointing up hill and attempt to set off again it seems to lack enough power to get going untill i put my foot allmost to the floor? cant think what may be causing this?
maybe the clutch? or maybe a little surface rust on the drums that the drive belts go round? (it has been stood for 12 months)
any ideas anybody??
almost mot ready...

Re: almost mot ready...
And this "lack of power", is it lack of forward motion with lots or little revs? Any peculiar noises from the front or rear?spike4073 wrote:it seems to lack enough power to get going untill i put my foot allmost to the floor? cant think what may be causing this?

it is a lack of forward motion if i try to set off up hill lots of revs needed .... someone else described it well when they told me its like trying to set off in 3rd gear in a manual

Check the clutch clearance. Clutch could be toast or gap too wide.
