Hi. I have a standard 1600 with vacuum. Starts good and ticks over lovely but if you go for a sharp throttle press it fully dies if you let it. Lift off and ticks over fine. Gentle acceleration is ok, just a quicker press can kill it. Standard points and condenser, fairly recently replaced & set...

What part do the sidesteps screw on to under the front wheel arch? Looking on JK as to what part needs welding in as it’s rotted off.

I’m looking for someone selling reconditioned genuine solex carbs. Also reconditioned Bosch distributors. Or someone who reconditions them close to Sheffield. I’ve been recommended to look at a Weber carb to replace the standard solex, but not sure what or where to look. Any info appreciated.

I am looking into fitting a diesel heater. We have a Devon moonraker so could fit in either a side cupboard or under the rear seat. Is there any way I could duct the heat into the big tube at the back of the bus? What would we do with where the heat exchanger connects or would we have to cut...

Just need a clue at to where to start looking. Recently a dues blows when starting the van. 72 crossover. Somethimes have to hold ignition for it to start to turn over. Today hold, nothing happens but then the fuse pops, tried 3 times. Could it just be a dead or dying starter motor?

Driving today, the van is feeling to be juddering, mainly noticeable when accelerating in 3rd or 4th, stops when dropping down a gear, or prob less noticeable. Not sure what it is. Recently gone back to points & condenser & had carb cleaned. Andrew.

Standard 1600 engine with electronic ignition, when on a long run and engine is hot, is does a few coughs, then when coming to a stop everything dies, and won’t restart until sat for a while, then takes a while to start again, but then fine for a bit. Any ideas? Thinking distributer?
