GSF will do.
Take your old ones if you use GSF to compare.

While you're there get some plugs, a distributor cap and rotor arm...if you haven't already

I will definitely sort that. Once engine is fixed.

I had a massive wobble earlier in the week and was going to sell 'Albert', however I'm too far in now and think I'm just going to credit card the bill.

My wife won't be happy when she finds out. I took her for a meal tonight to butter her up!

does she have a read through this stuff and the site in general?
she ought to , its not all down hill with a van and likewise not all singing and happiness, it takes time to get a van sorted for reliability then once done you know much more about it and sort of know when things are right or a bit off or need doing , never try to get it all done and all sorted in one hit, you will be overwhelmed if you try and then give up which you nearly did,
and once3 youve ahd a few successful trips out you will both be glad you did

My lovely wife does not tend to read this forum. She is however very patient with my VW passion. We've had some good camping trips and a terrible 13 hours in the back of an AA truck back from south Wales.

You have to take the rough with the smooth, however I never expected such engine trouble after having a recon engine only 2020 miles ago!

Onwards and upwards from here!
