Technical Few Problems with a new Seicento sporting

[orangewheeledwonder]

Hi

I have just bought a X plate sporting, and iv got a few problems...

The gearbox is really stiff, very hard to select 1st and 2nd, the others are easier but still stiff. think it has just had a new clutch.

There is a 'knocking' noise from the back, when i drive over bumby roads, is it bushers or shocks or possibly suspension?

The door handels dont drop back so they have to be pushed down before the door shuts

Any advice is appreciated

Thanks

Stiff gears, adjust clutch as a starting point.

Knocking could be damper bushes or trailing arm bushes. Undo lower damper bushes and bounce car. If it still knocks its the trailing arm ones.

Lubricate door handles.

Cheers
