[QUOTE="Dave M, post: 425041, member: 2720"] Not the best run to work in the van this morning. Decided to go work in it so I could pop round to the MOT centre for a re-test ready for Stanford Hall. 500 Yards from work the engine starter knocking/rattling & misfiring. Turn it off & cruise to a stop to see smoke pouring out of the side vents. Open the engine lid to find the drivers side carb on fire :shock: :shock: . Luckily my extinguisher was enough to put it out with only a fried air filter & some melted wiring. Looks like it will be Stanford Hall in the Golf & a mad dash for the rest of the month to get it fixed for our trip to Devon. Oh the joy's of owning a classic car. [/QUOTE]
