  A couple of months ago I bought a used Honda Accord 2.0 petrol with a very low mileage. The car runs almost like new with one exception (i.e. the clutch). In normal running it is as smooth as can be with no noise or slippage but the problem comes when I come to reverse it up my fairly steep
• Volvo v70 1.6d - V70 cutting out 2 Feb 2017 (Forum)
  light on. If you continue to accelerate it will cut out. If you back off it will stay running in low power mode. Turn it off and restart and it resets back to normal.

  My 13 year-old Honda CRV (petrol), 67,000 miles, owned from new, has become less easy to start in the cold weather and runs 'rich' when it starts; it is difficult to achieve a smooth clutch release until the engine has warmed-up (after a minute or two). Once warm, it runs perfectly
