2908642343 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Hello and welcome to all things Manta related. Post up a pic or to of the hatch. Suggest you make up a list of the parts that you are after. Most parts are available, depending on how hard you are prepared to search.

smiffy220 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Hi, welcome to the club, and well done for joining up as a paid member too. Good luck with the parts searches, and look forward to seeing some pics of the car. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2908642343 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Ben; Think you need to start a seperate thread in the parts wanted section and list out all the parts that you need. Would help if you posted up your location. As to "hydraulic boot lifts" Get in touch with Paul A - Username PMA on the forum as he can source these quite cheaply. I have had a couple of sets of these of Paul and are fitted to my hatch. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick-Manta Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Welcome to the club mate. You pretty much done what you need to be pointed in the right direction for parts, by joining the club and forum. Just to note with the clutch kit. The GTE 2.0 uses a different kit to the Carbbed 2.0 CIH the friction disk is a half inch bigger in diametre but in my experience a lot of sellers don't seem to know this and will assume 2.0 engines to be the same. The GTE ones are harder to find for some reason but there are still some around, I can't find the site I bought mine from middle of last year but here's one to get started if you get no luck with your local factors Link to onlineautomotive You certainly don't need to pay £300+ like some that pop up on ebay.

gt/e paul Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 hi,ben i just replied to your wanting history of your car thread. then just came by your post in the wanted section . if you still after a clutch set i have one here that i can post to you if you want to yours for £20 inc the postage . ive no use for it as my car is automatic . that clutch bearing started making a noise after it was parked up for so long . shame as it was new when i done all the work and it was a gen gm one. i guess the bearing dryed out through lack of use maybe. let me know matey regards paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
