Mine has just started having the same problem, started ok this morning, went for a short drive and every time I came to a stop junction, lights etc it stalled and I had to restart it, got back to house and vehicle will not idle just keeps konking out unless I keep the accelerator pedal pressed. Hope...

Also ref conversions, in view of recent posts regarding MOT exemptions after vehicle ages forty, unsure if this alteration affects this, worth raising to see what other members think.

Did you get any indication of problems with the coolant tank in the engine bay, Dalek cap, wiring etc.

Has the fuel pump been checked for delivering fuel to the carb? Presuming it is a mechanical one running off the engine cam.

How about VW Heritage, see if they have any contacts.

I replaced my nozzles with the 3 jet option sometime back and nearly lost the hose inside the van. I wonder if this does happen can you feed the new hose through the nozzle hole back to the pump and reservoir without removing the dash, even if it takes a different route.

Thanks all for feedback, good selection to choose from.

Like most if not all, my front number plate is fitted to the front of the bumper. Which makes it vulnerable to damage if you get a bit to close to an object or when stepping on the bumper to get access to elevating roof. Is it possible to fit the number plate below the bumper and are special bracket...

Thats a pain, looks as if I am in the same boat as you, having read their response in your post I still do not think it right, its as if they are one year behind. 🤔E D I T after reading the dvla response a few more times I think it has sunk in. Will have to wait until after April to put the amended ...

Ditto and thanks, only test I do on my fan and thermostat if not used regularly is to run the engine and wait for the thermostat to open and fan to run

I was advised to fill in a V10 but no mention of a V112
