Hi all fellow van lovers,

I am the new 'green van man' on this site... i hope to make many more posts.

I have two discussions, one being my 4y EFI idle control valve thermowax plunger(at least i hope that is what it is?) takes.....ages...and.....ages....to function. Lets say maybe 15 min. of town driving before the revs go from 1200 rpm to 850rpm. Once the revs have gone down i can still smell fuel from the exhaust....could the symptoms be related?....is this normal consistent with anyone else?

I love my van and my wife......but my van is old and worth very little monetary wise. Is there a newer alternative on the market that ticks all the same boxes as a 'box tarago' manual 4wd?....i can't find one and hence am sticking with the old girl.
