Verdict -

Cold starting - on the button if you follow the instructions about priming the choke and not pumping the throttle etc

Warming up - standing still, very constant and well-behaved, driving, the van gives the occasional backfire but behaves extremely well. Approached a couple of busy roundabouts and STILL broke a sweat because of the nightmare opportunities the van had to stall and fail-to-restart - amazing - did not stall ONCE during warm up period. Van was less responsive to 'foot to the floor' and until warm did not feel like it had much power but as said earlier, 1000 times less backfiring, no violent kangaroo hopping and no pedestrians ducking thinking they are being shot at! Power was full on when warm. Also did a few tests during the warm up by turning the ignition off, priming the choke again and restarting - ABSOLUTELY ON THE BUTTON WITH NO NEED TO USE THE THROTTLE - LITERALLY TURN KEY - CLICK - PURR Haha just need to convince the wife to get in now as she refused to go in it a few weeks ago because we broke down during warm up lol

Hot/Normal - it's safe to say I never truly realised just how badly my 'armchair on wheels' was running when hot until now. Runs like an absolute bloody dream - nuff said

I'm sure there'll be some niggles and issues in the future but at the moment I'm just enjoying driving what truly feels like a new 1990 LT28 -

What a genius!
