Hi all, Thanks to everybody for their help and suggestions with the judder on my 71 and the smoke from the heater vents. I've had a quick look around the engine as suggested and there appears to be no oil leaks about and no oil on the heater boxes. I will check the valve clearances and the engine mountings at the weekend. However I guess the judder is due to the clutch. we've been getting slight juddering as the clutch is engaged in 1st since getting the van, however it was only serious (and smoking) when setting off up hill. I suppose the smnoke could have been the clutch burning because it did smell bad like Stuart said. I will check everything out at the weekend and let you know how I get on. Thanks again for all the help. Cheers Jon
