What parts does it need?

Jacks garage in London is often recommended, not sure where they are.. have you looked in the Wiki?

HI Andy

I use a bloke called Howard who is a member of the herts VW club
He has done a few bits on my van and it all top class work.
He is always busy but if you email me irishkeet@yahoo.co.uk
Ill reply with his mobile.
He is based in St Albans about 5 mins of A1M/A14 junction before the Galleria

hi andy

where in london are you based?
Howard does a lot of VW work and may well have had spare parts

I used to live just off Church St
Im based in Enfield,
Are you anyway handy with vans like doing your own serviceing (plugs oil etc?)

In response to you gas Q have you tried the DIY shop on Stokie high street
I worked there a lifetime ago and they used to do gas

Hi Andy

I was thinking the same thing, I looked at an evening course but they dont really cover the old engines enough.
There is one on on the weekend of Sept 30th but thats the wknd of the brighton Breeze which were going to.

If you hear of one to go to please let me know, my email is irishkeet@yahoo.co.uk

Would be good to meet and see your van sometime as were nearly neighbours. :shock:
