|  When did you last stall your car
Do you stall your car very often? I must admit to stalling a couple of times since I've had the new car. I just let the revs go too low as I was pulling away from cold.
In the A3 it pretty much never happened. I suppose when you get used to a car you are unlikely to stall it. Do you agree with that?

I've not stalled any car for years.
I can't even remember the last time I did stall a car.

Not for years. And it's impossible to stall a 2 pedal car  | |

| Re: When did you last stall your car
Its been a while, but about a month ago, I had to put cheep fuel in my baby and at low speeds after putting the clutch in, the car died a few times. It wasn't a stall because the clutch was in, and I didn't rev the car atall. It was just cheep fuel. I did stall about 2 months ago, slow traffic through town, up a hill with speed bumps. The car infront stopped just after the speed bump and I stopped just before. I don't like slipping the clutch in my baby, and due to the hill and the speed bump, I stalled | |

| Re: When did you last stall your car
My van has developed an annoying habit of stalling at about 30 mph usually went just starting to go up hill, like when joining a motorway for example. Coasting onto the M6 in the lunch time rush hour with no brake servo or power steering is quite exciting.
I've stalled the MG a couple of times but I'm going to blame a dirty IACV for that.
