Hi all,
Can anyone tell me why this happens?
My Series 3, (original engine, twin Zeniths) sits idling happily in neutral.
I depress the clutch pedal and the engine revs drop by a couple of hundred
RPMs. Not a loaded, groaning drop as if something is binding, but a fall
over a second or so. It is enough to cause a *graunch* into first if I dont
wait for the revs to fall.

BTW - I managed to get the tonneau to fit over the weekend by leaving the
car parked in the (wintery) sun and progressively securing more
lift-the-dots as the tonneau stretched. Thanks to all who provided advice.

Cheers,
Paul.
