			<description><![CDATA[ Hi my Mantara GTS started leaking copious amounts of petrol, yep not good. Just spent the afternoon getting a petrol shampoo, but discovered what appear to be
2 filters, one metal and one plastic and an electric pump. The jubilee clips that hold it together appear to have point rusted in spite of waxoyling from new
and seems to be leaking through the pin holes. Its an AC metal filter, anyone any ideas what its from? ]]></description>

I have purchased the Mantara L414 AHA and have been checking through the site to see whats what and whos who. So hello everyone.

It would appear that the Mantara uses the Sierra front hub carriers brakes etc I am told its the Cosworth but does anyone know for sure? is it the 4wd or the
2wd ? I am looking to change to Wilwood 4 pots on the front, I have noted what has been said about master cylinder ratios etc. but has anyone got any details

So, here we go - -

The relay(s) are Bosch 0032 014 112. They are metal bodied, 5 pin, double make (switches 2 terminals and  they are NOT &quot;changeover&quot; relays),  the

			<description><![CDATA[ Advice with electrics please.
<br>
I was maligning the Laserline unit unfairly about the fuel pump feed - had it checked out and it is not malfunctioning.
<br>
<br>
So - the Mantara is running by supplying and another feed but I would like to trace the fault.
<br>
<br>
Is there a fuel pump relay? - - and where is it?
<br>
Where does the supply come from if there is not a relay.
<br>
<br>
As usual any advice much appreciated.

			<description><![CDATA[ Bad day !!  Engine cut out at the traffic lights !!
<br>
<br>
I&#39;ve managed to get the car home and I think that it is a fuel problem. There is plenty of fuel in the tank (unlike me at the moment).
<br>
<br>
I&#39;ve checked the pump fuse and it&#39;s OK - but at the moment I cannot easily see where the fuel pump is. Can anyone tell me where to look when I get
serious tomorrow.
<br>
Any other obvious things to go for?
<br>
<br>
Thanks for any help - must get it fixed before Prescot!

The barrel kit from Ford is only £15 and you can rebuild it to fit the key.  BUT - if the barrel jams up altogether it could be another story because you need
