MANTAMAN Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Wow, you do not often see three Manta's at an MOT garage, all the same colour as well....... Did they pass??? Took mine for the MOT yesterday as well, somehow the timing of it has ended up as just before Billing, I got a pass but then i wasn't expecting anything other with my Gold Hatch. I have been having a little bother with it of late, the slow running jet has become blocked, so temporarily i put on a spare varijet, now it has an idling misfire, damned varijets !! now i see why Webers are so popular !! I always had a battle with the front brakes, trying to make them go on even, so this year i refurbished & rebuilt the front calipers, overcome the problem with sticking sliders but now i am chasing air bubbles round the brakes pipes !! I guess you had 'fun' Rob with the usual suspects, carb, brakes, washer jets etc, getting this Manta going after being off the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiney_norman Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Somehow it passed! Still got work to do before making the trip to Billing, the timing's out and I think the servo vacuum hose has had it, probably have to bleed the brakes again too. But it passed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bris jas Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 That's a result! Couple more tweaks and we'll see you at Billing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANTAMAN Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another Manta that will grace the field of Dreams. Know exactly what you mean about bleeding (the) brakes, the ones on my Gold Hatch possibly still air in them, gotta see how quickly i get other stuff sorted for Billing wether i have another session chasing air bubbles round the car.
