Tim, the first time i drove our new automatic Volvo, i was straightening up in the yard to drop the trailer off. As i approached our main gates at walking speed, which were also closed i went to dip the clutch.......mmmm no clutch, the gate post was pretty close by this time so what did i do......looked down for the clutch pedal It did finally register just to press the brake tho just in time . I was in auto pilot and i think stupid mode

I've done the complete opposite - As nearly all Renault Premiums come with the auto box when I moved a manual one I only pressed the brake when trying to stop - Took a few seconds to click why it was still trying to go forwards and getting a bit of a jerk on - I had another pedal to press
Our local Council bought an IVECO very similar but it had an under floor compressor fitted.Sadly as a 12 tonner it came on 9.5 x 17.5 tyres and was too high to do patching work etc. At its first MOT it had only covered 2,200 Kms about 1,300 Miles and they sold it soon after.

I have had the same trouble as Neversweat-stalled both the Scania and my own car after driving one of the auto Volvos
