just tried to take my stilo 1.6 to the local garage for it mot (brought as a project, christmas tree dash) its been off the road for 3 years before i got my hands on it. finally cleared all faults on the dash, had abs, asr, loose conection, car secuirty, alternator fail. was expecting it to be tough to move anywhere due to the brakes has slightly binded but now cleared as much as possible. took it for a quick drive before mot appointment, spent 30 minutes trying to back it off my drive (slight slope upwards) ended up stalling a few times because of a extremely high bite point and having to put more revs than how i learned to drive.
finally off the yard and driving round my estate, was absolutely fine while on flat ground on down hill but to get off my estate there is a bit of a hill. come to the hill and suddenly theres no power whatsoever, just kept stalling whatever i did just would not pull. i spent about 45 minutes trying to get it back to my street as again another slight hill to get up. just constantly stalls or heavy judder car sounds like im trying to pull off in 3rd.
back somewhat near my house, gave up in end and just parked where i could. got out and my car stinks, very bad chemical like smell. just wondering if possibly my clutch is on the way out or maybe something ive missed.
any help would be great, need car on road asap
