Identical to the first manta I ever bought. Starmist black 1.8 GT exclusive. Quad headlights, rear infill panel, those lovely GM steel wheels and lots of rust! m they stopped production in 87 I think but lots of cars filtered out into 88. I know of a mint F plate near me. Carmine red GTE exclusive coupe. Lovely. there is a J plate Manta out there but it’s not an original dealer car. I think it was a Steve Thompson car who bought a new shell in the late 80s and then used new parts to build it. They were able to register it through their business and it got a J registration.

Today I’ve tested the ICV. First up, resistance tests. Someone from the manta club tested theirs and I followed to get similar figures. I then stole the batteries out of the TV remote in the drivers waiting room and put them together to get 3 volts. No pictures I’m afraid, it was a 2 man, 4 hand job…… but it opens and closes as it should. Once I returned home, I refitted the valve and found a coolant temp sensor on the thermostat housing unplugged. Thought I’d nailed it, but nope. Jump started the old girl and she rose to 3500 rpm. now, if I squeeze the pipe going into the ICV, the revs come back down. Could this still be a faulty ICV?

Today I’ve taken the ICV off. when I start the car, it immediately revs up to 3500rpm. I can blip the throttle, which reduces the rpm briefly but then rises back to 3500. After 5 mins of throttle blipping and arsing about it settles to idle and is good till cold again. inside there is a door flap that rotates to allow more or less airflow. This flap is loose, and I can move it with a screw driver. so I’m not too sure if that’s supposed to happen or not. Need to look it up.

Get this. An MOT happened, and with a pack of chocolate hob nobs it passed. luckily I’d hit it with the welder before Xmas…. 900ish miles since last mot. Boy that’s quite a lot for us!!

They remind me of escort wheels.

The snow hit early this morning which brought stoke on Trent to a complete standstill I had an early morning Tesco collection. The Audi nailed it 💪

I think it’s a 911, but yeah they’re a great scale and really good quality.
