Re: carburettor 1.9 df water cooled petrol - advice needed pls

Thanks Lefty. I don't know which model but going to have a look now... Would it likely be the 34 PICT with a df watercooled engine? If it is as that link suggests, can any other brand 34 PICT carb work as a replacement do you know?

Re: T25 daunted newbie

Thanks ever so much one and all for your words of advise, they are kindly received. I didn't view the van before, so i guess it's largely my fault that i'm left with a problematic van.
