We all have those naughty little driving habits and some will eventually kill our cars here are mine what are yours?
- Resting hand on the gearstick - this can cause premature wear I'm told!
- Resting foot over the clutch - caused very slight drag wearing the clutch.
- Keeping clutch down at junctions - This can wreck the release bearing, stretch the cable and helped me kill 3 clutch cables overall (its worse on power and uprated clutches as there is more stress.
- Driving off immediately - rather than wait for the engine to warm up! This causes premature engine wear as the oil is not fully circulating.
- Revving hard when cold - (Nearly cured of this habit now) This really does cause damage, to the pistons especially eventually your pistons will permenently rattle when cold.
