bangernomics Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Motobility conversions in Salford did lots for the car scheme. I had a hankering for a 3 pedal when I had my knee done last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fitted one to something on Car SOS recently. bangernomics, Nicola H and SierraMikeHotel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernaut Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Maybe it's like a creeper pedal on a forklift. Press it a little bit, and it disengages drive. Press it further and it engages the brakes. This is alongside a normal brake pedal... on a vehicle with a torque converter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandeth Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Should have two...unless it's something with a foot operated parking brake like old Mercs, Rollers and a bunch of American cars... eddyramrod and Springer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 My dad used to have an auto Civic with two throttle pedals, one either side of the brake. The one you weren't using folded away upwards, and when you folded one up the other one dropped down. theshadow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aston Martin Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I'm going to cheat, I had a Scania 3 pedal auto. You only used it or moving off and when you come to a full stop.

Guest Hooli Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 The new Nissan Leaf can be driven with one pedal. Dodgems have been like that for years. stonedagain, Scruffy Bodger, willswitchengage and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loserone Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 And tiresome not long afterwards? Preserving momentum is made difficult by having to have the loud pedal in /exactly/ the right place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshadow Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 sounds like ghosty could be on right track,as brake pedal is fixed on bar,the others are just bolt ons,both flip up etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-cylinder Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Three pedals on my Mercedes W124 Auto is fine, but having a foot operated parking brake on a manual like my Citroen DS is a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadworkUK Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Motability left-foot throttle conversion. Quite fun to master. Rapidly teaches you to have an analogue left foot Ghosty and chodweaver 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willswitchengage Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 And tiresome not long afterwards? Preserving momentum is made difficult by having to have the loud pedal in /exactly/ the right place. A bit like riding a motorbike then! Am sure many of us will also know it's possible-ish to ride one without even using the clutch either bangernomics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things I like is how they change things very, very slowly - my wife and I would both be able to jump into that and drive it straight away, the controls are all in the same places as our modern(ish) ones.

sporty-shite Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Have you bought this? My nephew has recently lost his motability car, and needs a left foot throttle. He's got his head in the clouds a bit over what he wants/can afford, but this could be a decent stopgap for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Honda Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I'm going to cheat, I had a Scania 3 pedal auto. You only used it or moving off and when you come to a full stop. They are such a half-arsed pile of wank, only surpassed in wank terms by the (unin)Telligent shift Mercs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlo Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 If it's anything like a brand new Peugeot 405 1.9GR automatic which was delivered to my dealership in 1989, it will have three, a loose clutch pedal flopping around on the left. Peugeot's quality control wasn't great in those days. jumpingjehovahs, Ghosty and Lacquer Peel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinkersaab Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I have a cusomer with no use of his right leg, we made a thing up, must be 20 yrs ago to sort the problem, we move it for him every time he changes car, just taken it from a corsa and put it in a new citroen. Bots to the floor and It just drops to the floor when not in use, its so simple but works... see my great drawing below bangernomics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
