I haven't been on for a while 'cause my lil lemon seemed to be behaving itself. Well today I drive to a friends house, reverse in to her drive way and the car gets stuck in reverse (gear have been a little clunky and hard to hit). Anyway eventually I get it in neutral and decide to run for home whilst things are going good.

Driving along the motorway in 5th when it starts to rev up for no reason. Put it down in to 4th drives ok, try 5th again and same thing revs through the roof. So I've driven it home very sedately and it's gone through 1st to 4th ok.

Any suggestions? Everything seems to talk about loss of power which mine didn't as such - definitely think this time it's a trade in job!! :mad: :rolleyes:
 
Ohhhh that was a low blow ya wee monster! Of course I will have a look at the manual and have a shifty tomorrow when it's light. BTW I'm sure I didn't give you permission to use those pics of me on yer posts! ;oP
 
They have the hard removable rear cover and sunroof. It's lovely to drive and very comfy but looks like it gonna bleed me dry so I might well get rid of it - shame!
 
Hmm ok so RAC say not clutch but seems to be gear selector? Any views? You think this might be the issue and if so how much £££ will local guys be taking from me this time!
 
mandy, from your first discription of the problem

"Driving along the motorway in 5th when it starts to rev up for no reason. Put it down in to 4th drives ok, try 5th again and same thing revs through the roof. So I've driven it home very sedately and it's gone through 1st to 4th ok."

and with you having problems selecting gears at low speeds, it points to clutch plate not releasing and also slipping in 5th ,
1, plate could be worn/pressure plate weak
2, clutch not releasing ,due to hydraulic fault,

(this is a good reason why not to ride the clutch) but im sure you would never do that
