Personally none, but when I was a mechanic I had 2 customers who had 240GLE estates, both with the B230K. Both carbs were well past their use-by date and required constant attention. One car was eventually converted to use a weber carb at some expense. The other had it's carb semi-reconditioned by cobbling together parts from three carbs (the original, the one from the second car, and one I bought from clifford pope on here) which produced a carb which functioned well enough to keep it going for another 2 years until it was scrapped for other reasons. At no point were we able so source replacement parts for the carb from any source in the UK or europe.

I'm sure some have solex-cisac carbs that work, but I personally dislike them for the problems they've caused me.
