I hope it goes well Chris. What year is it?
Covid is driving people stark raving mad. Today I observed a woman having a full blown conversation with her dog.
When I arrived home and told my rabbit about it we laughed for hours.

Good luck with it Chris. There aren't many of them left by all accounts?? I remember them being everywhere as a kid but they all rotted away.

Hi, I've been following this thread with much interest. My HA van is the same set up (1256cc/Weber) and am looking for advise please. Mine runs fine under load, pulls nicely etc. The problem is when decelerating. It coughs like it wants to backfire but does not actually backfire. It becomes quite jerky till acceleration is restored or we come to rest at say traffic lights whereby it ticks over fine. Any thoughts please. Thanks Keith.
