stalled 'Auto'
I was reversing in a carpark the other day and when I selected D the car stalled. I was still rolling back when I selected D, I know I should have stopped but I was in a rush. Did think it was possible to stall an Auto? Ive driven quite a few auto's and done the same thing in them. Never stalled.
Is this rightCurrent: D3 commercial
Past: but not forgotten D3 HSE x2, 5 TD5 disco2's, 1 200tdi disco1, 2 300tdi disco1 one of which was a commercial, Off roader with a rather large spec, ARB's and big travel suspension to name a few.

I stall my auto regularly off-road. I know others do.

Done that a few times offroading, stalls if car going backwards & wheels turning forwards. Cars way of saying "Do something else, that ain't gonna work!"
PS NJF don't get that confused with getting stuck in the sand!! You've done that many a time!!!
