ok im only 17. so i dont no anything about engines yet. so please help!
hear goes, how do i fix these problems:
1. when i pull away the car judders like its going to stall yet im doing it all correctly. someone said sumthing about the clutch being to high or sumthin. (ive just had a brand new one fitted)
2. The car does not start every time. it cuts out. sometimes i have to rev to get it going but it still conks out. sometimes it starts perfect.
3. When i stop the fan or sumthing makes an annoying noice like a propellor plane stoping and kinda judders.
cheers guys!

1 and 2 Check that the fueling is correct
3 The fan bearing may be knackered
which motor is it?
-
lol what do u mean by check the fueling?
its a 1.6 CL
-
Check the fuel mixture, use a gunston spark plug mixture tester, its like a see-through spark plug, so you can see the colour of the combustion. Also check for vacuum leaks around the carb.

ok kool.
so its not just a case of tightening up my clutch lol? it was pulling away ok before the new one got put in. i thought mabey the guy who did it didnt adjust it very well
-
Maybe the new clutch is sh!t, maybe the springs in the friction plate that absorb the transmission shocks are sh!t.

My mate had a problem like that.
Turned out it was a timing problem. Get new spark plugs and check your leads.
