GODDAMN WHY I AM SHIFTING ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL'S RECOMMENDATIONS AND THIS DIDN'T USED TO HAPPEN 3000 KILOMETERS AGO.

check your clutch is actually disengaging properly

the rubber part of the music thing got stuck in there and got mike pence'd until it combusted I guess

Ferd?
Check your starter solenoid.
Use a hammer because its sticking closed.

I am stepping all the way on the pedal and the revs drop. Is there some other indicator I can look for to make sure it's disengaging?

this happens to me with my rear windshield wiper, also it turns on on its own when I put the FM transmitter in the 12V socket. I don't get how they're related but it's annoying.

Do you smell burning? Like let it run in gear with your foot on the clutch for a while. Could be slipping enough to grind like that but not actually move the car or stall the engine.

>bogpit

No I don't smell burning. I've burned the clutch before on a hill so I know the burning smell. Also you can feel it in your foot if the clutch isn't fully disengaged (you feel the friction). I don't think it's grinding sound. I watched some videos to see what it sounds like because I never actually ground the gears. The crunch is coming from the shifter.

turns out it was my idle air control valve, i had to disconnect the battery to install a new alternator and my computer reset it for god knows what reason

pretty common problem on my car, as it turns out. gave me a goddamn heart attack though desu

Welp.

Wipers don't actually work that great at highway speeds. You would think that there is crazy amount of downforce on the wipers. But you would be wrong. All that wind is actually creating lift on the wipers. So it barely wipes your windscreen.

Will keep this in mind,bro.

wipers don't create lift.
Wind rushing up the windshield nudges wipers away.

I used to push it in whenever anyone would ride shotgun and let it jump in their lap. Have more stories of that pos truck

>nick, whats goin on big guy? you just got turned off

Something tells me this would happen no matter what you drove, you fucking faggot user.

>grande
you have to go back

>Pull door handle
>Handle comes off

kek, this just happened to me yesterday with my old piece of shit van

Worse than nails down a blackboard

this happened to me with less than 20,000km on the odo... fuck Renault and their stupid plastic bullshit

How does this even happen? When you lock the car does it physically lock the lever part of the handle to the rest of the car?? That seems unnecessary.

>driving friend to hospital for physical therapy for his leg
>45 minutes in, truck starts to sputter and then dies
>will not fucking start again
>wait 15 minutes, try it for shits and giggles
>turns over no problem
coolant gauge was normal, everything else was normal. Finally figured out it was a shitty engineering decision. The ignition control module mounted on the distributor is sensitive to heat, and on warmish days after 40ish minutes of driving, it'd finally shut itself off, taking the truck with it. Let it cool down, and it works as normal until it heats up again.

Fuck you, Ford. I'm glad you lost the class action suit about this shit.

Overnighted a new cable to my local Ford Dealer.

Mid to late 80's F150?

Wind rushing up against planes' wings nudges them up into the sky, too. Not lift, though.

Same except it was a shattered truck tire
