Daughter has the 2.2 Diesel, 2006 on a 56 plate (UK) probably has 220,000 miles on it.
Sudden problem is that the car doesn't want to move. It is parked on our drive on an ever so slight incline and to move forward in 1st it is taking 2,000 - 2,500 rpm to set off, and having to rev the nuts off it to get any forward momentum.
There is a slight kerb reversing back onto the drive and that is taking 3,000 - 3,500 rpm to move backwards.
This started out of the blue last night and wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction as to possible cause. The clutch had been a tad sticky (but not a problem) for a very short time but does work and the car does find the gears but this has me flummoxed. Can probably nurse it to the local garage (not Honda specialist) about 3 miles away if I choose flat roads with little or no incline, but would like some idea what I may be letting myself into.
The car has cost her a small fortune recently and is starting to feel like a money pit.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
