    Bikeworld on the Longmile road in Dublin are the Piaggio agents in the Republic of Ireland, if they can't service it they might at least be able to recommend someone who will service the ape van, if it's a standard vespa engine you could try scooterisland on Usher's island on Dublins south quays. www.scooterisland.com www.bikeworld.ie

    Don't bother with Bikeworld, they wouldn't know one end of a vespa px engine from the other.

    Give Carl in MC Scoots a call. Their repairs garage is up in Stoneybatter. He had a Ape van in for service the last time I called in so they seem to know what they're doing.

    MODERN AND CLASSIC SCOOTERS - TEL (01)6586570 MOBILE (086)3652823 or (087)9532408 VESPA - LAMBRETTA - AUTOMATIC - LML. SPARES AND GENERAL REPAIRS. PAINT WORK FROM CRASH TO CUSTOM. SCOOTER SALES.

    I contacted bikeworld and got a email back saying no which was no help.I will check the MC Scooters company. Where is stoneybatter?

    thanks for the help, if he had a ape van in for service before he must know what he would be talking about.

    To get to MC scooters: From Dublin north quays turn left off Ellis quay up Blackhall place you'll pass North King street on your right, 20 metres on turn left into Rosemount terrace and MC scooters is on your left.
