cam.in.head Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 absolutely . after driving ANY modern car it's amazing how good the cavs or mantas feel to drive . i drive an omega as my daily and that's about as good as vauxhalls get but still feels great to be back in the cav. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1200bandit Posted September 17 Author Share Posted September 17 When l pick up the manta from the body shop after 4 months the engine when cold will rev up to 2,000 RPM to just about running. Had to get it out of the garage ( getting the boiler serviced) Did a check today the 5th injector blue body moves about,the wiring block not secured on the on the unit, Replaced the injector now starts better. Adjusted the air thing on the throttle body running a lot better .

Trooker Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Well covered! Like a bunch of others I’ve noticed that cars have generally been sitting around for sale longer this year, this article was interesting and may suggest you should hang fire rather than drop price. https://ukbarnfinds.com/2024/10/01/has-the-classic-car-market-reached-the-bottom/ PS I’ll pm you later, we were away for a couple of weeks and despite thinking family would be at home it seems that the sockets were missed delivered so may come back to you! 🙈 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
