I seem to be having a problem with 1st gear in my 06 active 1.2, not sure if it's me or the car, not long passed so it may well be me.

There seems to be a problem with getting the car to go into 1st gear, it doesn't seem to go in properly even when you try it a few time's, even when it's MEANT to be in 1st gear... it's not in properly and end up stalling :cry:

Always seem to happen at the same junction :eek: Only happened 3/4 time's in 6 months and only happens when it's REALLY cold.

Most probably me but thought i would check, so please be kind if I'm being daft :worship:

ALSO I alway have ice on the inside of my windscreen when it's really cold, is this normal ??

Thanks in advance (y)
 
no syncro on first (and reverse) so these gears will be more difficult especially in cold, sounds normal but if your concerned let tech at dealership drive it at least to put your mind at rest.

put heater on recirculate & close vents to help stop ice on inside.

EDIT - damn you 2 for typing faster than my one finger:bang:

Thanks, will try shutting the vents as the icing up is really doing my head in now. Going to be at the dealer's on Monday picking up a part. so will mention it to them and after reading the forum will be mentioning me tailgate leaking problem, also the heated mirrors don't seem to be working. Just hope they don't want to keep my car for more than a day.
