Willy P Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 Right! I have just come on here for a little moan (again). I let my mate have a little go in my zed last night just up and down the dual carriageway and fair play to him he was pretty gentle with her. BUT!! He drove the whole way with his foot resting on the clutch pedal!! not the dead pedal!!! I could smell it burning. I told him 3 or 4 times to use the dead pedal but he kept resting it there. What a numpty Last time I'm letting him have a go! No wonder he failed his HGV Anyway, that's enough moaning for a second, I'm going to grab some lunch Quote
mattbowey Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 could he not smell it burning himself? simple answer though, passenger rides but no driving. thats what i try to stick with. have let a couple of mates drive mine but they have all been driving longer than me. Quote
Paulzx Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 the clutch was burning simply from the guy resting his foot on the pedal? wouldn't he have to actually engage the clutch to cause it to burn? Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 Burning from resting his foot ??? Sounds dodgy Quote
marzman Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 the clutch was burning simply from the guy resting his foot on the pedal?wouldn't he have to actually engage the clutch to cause it to burn? +1 in all my cars i think i rest my foot on the clutch pedal... the pedal doesn't move at all... Quote
Tricky-Ricky Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 Burning from resting his foot ??? Sounds dodgy My thoughts too! is your mate built like hulk Hogan, that or a badly adjusted clutch. Quote
dyla350z Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 old wives tale,i do it to, 2 supra`s,2scoob`s& a 350 in 10 years & ive only done 1 clutch,if he was riding it you would of noticed. Quote
Willy P Posted August 4, 2010 Author Posted August 4, 2010 Okay maybe the smell was just from his crap gear changes and it was a coincidence he was resting his foot on the pedal. Anyway, he does need to shed a few pounds. But still, it's the first time I've ever felt so protective about a car. Quote
Willy P Posted August 4, 2010 Author Posted August 4, 2010 smash him in the face Hehe, you seem to always give the best advice, I will do that next time. Quote
