Anyone know anyone who's Mk1 friendly in the southwest (Bristol preferably)- issues stalling, and even after a pump and tank change (the filler is fine) the problems still persisting . The filters fine too.
Cheers
Ross

I used this guys last week, not on the mk1 but on our Freelander. Very friendly and helpful and also arrived early. You don't see that too often !!

I don't know if he'll go out as far as Bristol though, might be worth giving him a call anyway.
Hope this helps

rosslpenny - bring it to Bristol volksfest this weekend with some tools and we can have a tinker see if we can get it running better for you , sounds like maybe the webber could do with a set up?
Cheers mate- very generous offer. I've got 2 problems though; I'm not sure which day I'll be up (but I will be) and will have the lad and mrs in tow so gonna be limited to time.
Oh, thanks again for stopping and passing your details a couple of weeks back

what ever day you come up just make sure you head for club stands not general parking and then ask the stewards to head you in the direction of the mk1 golf owners club

Sat is more of a chilled out day with people setting up that are there for the 2 days, bbq on beers flowing etc, time to look around stands and car, autojumble etc
Sunday is prob the main day, as this is when show and shine is on and people turn up mainly as day visitors
