Thanks for the information, Always interesting to get some history Had the manta for a week now the little jobs have mounted up When l got the manta it smell like it was over fuelling When l dropped the coolant the alloy T piece fell to bits ( top with water will replace the coolant) also blocked T piece throttle body not getting hot So made one up ( temp one) run the engine hot running a lot better ( no smell) . Made a better one now ,hopefully will not leak Found some keys on eBay ( £7.00) just got to get them cut When l removed the alarm the bolts where solid on the inner wing ,had to rip it off ,so the inner wing will need welding Got some carpet for the boot so that will it look a lot better Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.

fullsunian Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 With regards the upside down pictures, if you are using an iphone make sure the volume controls are at the bottom. that should fix the problem👍 Great tread by the way and nice to see one come back from over the water.

I notice your pictures are all in Landscape, are you left handed? I just ask because if you are, you’ll probably click the home/photo button with your left thumb but to the iPad programmer of 2012 or whatever it was that’s upside down & the iPad photo could be ‘telling’ this forum which way is ‘up’ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1200bandit Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 I am right handed . The photos are correct in the photo album The iPad will spin the image the correct way around when a photo is taken The business card come out correct on here is that l had put the card upside down 😶 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

®evo03 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Apple decided that when you capture a photo with the volume buttons facing skyward, like most people do since we're used to camera shutter buttons being on top, this is actually upside down. Apple also wants to keep the process of capturing and saving a photo to be as fast as possible so you can keep snapping away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1200bandit Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 Will try and take some photos with the volume buttons at the top. Only did small bit of work tonight ( is whiskey night) Fitted boot rubber ( from a Nissan xtrail is a bigger ) fitted very well Are trying to fit a Renault Clio rubber carpet mat looks okay more cutting required. Also got red LED light which are going to try a wire into the boot light so when the boot is open the will be a very bright red light ( got to work that bit out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulmanta Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Depends on the type of lens used. I replace all of mine with new hella 1L300 2850-06 units. I put 4 in, so you get 4 sidelights as it looks better, I wire up the dip as outside and main as inside but use a front fog lamp switch to have the outer mains come on if I want. Simple stainless threaded bar and little hooks put on the end made from the stainless inserts you get in windscreen wipers along with new stainless compression type springs hold them in. You can use the original plastic nuts to adjust if you use the right threaded bar. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
