Sourcing a carb

[toast]

just checked done a search for Carburettor and found some stuff.. but truth be told i'm a bit of an eidjit with this kind of nonsense... my carb is shagged.... there is a great tory about five hour wait in the dales on new years day, but thats for another day - now my friendly rac man told me that a breakers yard and anything from a golf would do as replacement - is this the case?

or is this all i need?

many thanks in advance
