Replacing capacitors...?

I need to replace three 470 uF 25V caps but I was wondering if using 1000 uF 25V caps would work or not?

It would depend on the application. If you are using the capacitors for smoothing capacitors in a power supply, larger capacitance would be an advantage. If they are part of a capacitance - resistance network where the capacitors are for timing something, the extra capacitance will throw things off quite a bit. Can you tell us more?
