Hiya, I'm new here, just posted on the newbie forum but having trouble uploading a pic.
I've got a r reg 1997 mk1 sx 60 5 door, which has been going great mainly since I bought it 4 weeks ago.
It does seem to judder on first, but mainly when my partner drives it.
The main problem is the other night I was coming out from a closed junction in 1st, turned onto the road, applied some gas to change up to 2nd and the car just seemed to slow right down, wouldn't really move. I checked I wasn't in 3rd by mistake (new 1st time driver ), and then thought maybe it didn't like 1st (as it doesn't seem to) so changed up to 2nd - same problem. I had this blinking MPV beeping like made behind me. Finally it seemed to regain power and I could move off. My partner helpfully suggested that I maybe had my foot on the brake instead of the gas, but I didn't.
Any ideas what it could have been as worried about it happening again.
