Hi all
Been noticing lately that sometimes she won't go into gear quite as quickly as usual - its pretty random, but always in lower gears it seems. For instance, sitting in traffic coming out of neutral to 1st she just sits in neutral for a few seconds and then I hit the paddle again and either she eventually goes into first or kind of gets confused and goes up to 2nd gear?
Its weird, as a month ago it was a problem dropping down from 3rd to 2nd but otherwise as above - the 3rd to 2nd problem happened a few times then kind of went away all on its own?
The F1 pump relay was changed out a month or so back so that should be fine , but we havent touched the clutch or pump itself etc yet and I was just wondering which might seem more likely to be the cause of the problem, its very intermittent so getting my mechanic to witness it is proving troublesome as its just not that common an occurence, yet..
Also wondered if it could just be something to do with the paddles themselves? Do the switches or whatever they link to fail atall?
I do realise if its the clutch itself Im off to a specialist to do the work as they have to plug it in and program it or whatever (Think Giallo in kent is the closest to me), but just about anything else my guy can most likely deal with if we can diagnose it.
As an aside, has anyone any clues how to fix a floppy sun visor? Driving me mad trying to figure it out..
On the upside, having had some paint, the interior cleaned and touched up, the headlight covers resurfaced and various other bits doing shes starting to look a bit stunning for a high mileage girl
Im pouring far more into her than Ill ever see back but thats not the point really is it (!) Just a shame the crappy weathers starting to close in now as she'll be going into storage soon just as I get her mostly 'right'
Thanks for your time
