Picked up my mk3 tipper today from getting a load of welding done, its been in the garage for months and was only worked on in their spare time to keep costs down for the repairs. Started up fine, then when driving no power at all......sounds like a tractor!!
Any sort of hill and it will only move in 1st gear at about 10mph - on the flat will go a bit better, once in 4th gear it vibrates let hell. Wont idle either just stalls eventually, i rang the garage up and asked them what it could be - i was told its probably the spark plugs as they had started and stopped it loads of times while it was them and it was only moved round the yard each time - it has the vv carb with automatic choke which seem to play up a bit when cold so in theory the plugs have suffered.
Will hopefully replace them tomorrow - just wondering if anyone else has had similar problems.
Cheers
