Thanks guys, have emailed Brickwerks and will try some breakers yards tomorrow. My carb definitely has a vapour canister, as you said Ghost123uk it is the 'swirl pot' from what I can tell… The exploded diagram on Gower and Lee shows my part clearly (http://www.gowerlee.dircon.co.uk/2E3type.html"...

Hi guys, I'm finding it impossible to get hold of a replacement vapor canister for my 2e3 carb.. Have tried Just Kampers, eBay and my local garage but they are nonexistent, apparently they stopped making them 5 years ago! Anyone had any luck finding one, or know of a model with 3 pipes that could be...

Thank you guys! Much appreciated.. I am just about to catch my flight and the rest of the band found one garage that was open! So fingers crossed they get home safely!

Again thanks for the help!

Good to know if I ever get really stuck thou...

Yeah I was supposed to be at work at 5.. That didnt happen! Got a gig tomorrow though so need it working by then if possible... Luckily a friend lived nearby so I drove in 1st to hers.. Would rac be able to temporarily fix it? I have it but it'll cost me £85 for a call out... Ah that wonders of buyi...

Thanks for getting back mate.. Ah, so pretty serious then? :-0 Eek. How much did your new box cost?

Hey everyone, I'm new to the club, had my 1.9 watercooled auto vw for 2 months now :) I was wondering of anyone can help? I'm stuck in totton, nr Southampton and she won't change gear. Just 1st and reverse are working, need to get back to Brighton! We set off this morning, and after around 20 miles,...
