    Never been caught in such an awful jam on such a steep hill before I guess!

    Not the end of the world, just listen to Dad in future, it is amazing how often he is right.:)

    No problem, wasn't intended to be having a pop, apologies if it came across like that, always difficult to not sound harsh when posting on a forum.

    I use the handbrake to assist and hold the car on hills. With the handbrake holding the car and stopping it rolling back, there's more mechanical sympathy on the clutch.

    Thank you all. I'm just so relieved I had a lucky escape.

    Another thing my Dad has said is that all experience is good experience even if it doesn't seem so at the time.

    Very wise my Dad.
