Right 3 questions in 1 so here goes

Just picked up a refurbished weber DFT which has been converted to run on water choke..question is how do i convert it or is it nessacery to convert it to run on manual choke or is it true that i can be run without?.. Its repalcing the VW carb on a 1400cvh

Just use the water heated choke if you have the pipes ?, they can be converted to manual choke, but a correctly set auto choke is perfect in operation.

the carb has all just been rebuilt so to take it to picecs to me does seem pointless.. i pressume then its a case of finding the hoses to divert flow from the heater side of the plumbing

Yes needs to be on the "heater" side of the coolant system, don't know the pipework on your car.
