Hi just wondering if anyone else has...or had... a similar problem to me with their Golf Clipper (Convertible 1.8)?

It is very frustrating because the car has 2 problems and I don't know if they are linked! However, the main problem was with the car just spluttering as I was driving, then it would cut out and I'd have to wait for about 5-10 minutes to start again, then about 5 miles further do it again. The AA say it is the carbaretur (can't spell), and the seal was perferated...which is was and now has been changed! But this leads me to my next problem...

The car will just randonly stall when driving. This is only when i push in the clutch to change gear and the revs just drop down to zero...I could be driving at 70...or 10 miles an hour. I don't know if they are linked or seperate as I don't know what is causing it!

These problems happen every so often and not everytime i drive.

Also, after speaking to people I have come up with some things that could be causing this...

1. Points on distributer.
2. Carbareturs on these old golfs are rubbish and should get a WEBBER conversion.

Please if anyone knows or has this problem tell me what it is because I'm going crazy.

It is a K reg Golf clipper 1.8. 89K.
