Leaking throttle valves

Hi we are looking to replace our twin solex carbs and would like to know which ones would be best to go for ?

Hi , it took a little longer than we expected but they were really busy ,very helpful team really happy with the van drives lovely ,i would recommend them .

all done now had the work done by The vw engine company

Yay getting the van back tonight engine all done did need a few other bits like the exhaust and bits but all done now

Thank you everyone ill keep you updated

Hi its going in on Friday for the new engine, lets hope there are not too many other thing wrong with it

Thanks 300ce gave The vw engine company a ring and we have decided to go for a new engine not worth paying all that money just for the valves makes more sense to do whole thing ,

Hi its not my daily drive we have been fixing her up for the past year ,was so looking forward to using it throughout summer ,had our first weekend booked for 6th of June but it doesn't look like we will get to use it any time soon maybe have to consider transporting her out off London somewhere

There doesn't seem to be anywhere else local

Yep maybe i need to move out of London or sell the van

Thanks rang olly going to be about a grand to do valves ? prob gonna go for a new engine

Yes i know them just around the corner i have never used them but i heard they were good so i recommended them to someone and i do not know the full story but i heard they messed up there engine so im a bit reluctant to use them,would of been perfect otherwise he is the next street from me

Yes RAC

Having trouble finding someone local as she doesn't drive well
