As title, preferably from a low mileage car at second hand money lol "!

Seriously all working manifolds considered

Just bought a ZT and found out that the seller has solved the rattle by spliiting open the manifold, removing the arm and flaps and resealing with self tapping screws and silicone - nice ! I will get back to him but am not holding my breath for any recompense. The car does seem great in all other respects though

Ouch.

There were some brand new ones, I think from e-carparts, though almost £500 notes is big money.

There must be some good used ones about: but I have surveillance on my V6 so don't even think about it....

This one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/rover-75-mg-z ... 500wt_1413
allegedly in perfect working order.

Thanks guys, e parts have some on e bay for £485 which come with new VIS (Variable Intake System) motors and a few for sale on e bay second hand from £130 upwards. Will likely buy second hand as a lot of difference between the 2, but will want a warranty which seem to range from 30 - 90 days with most being 30

Shame the issue isn't going to be an easier fix Rob.

Hope you get a goodun.

just bought one off Lewis, cant wait to see hoe the car should perform

The car is now cured following a replacement inlet manifold and both working vis motors, the seller had doctored the manifold by splitting it open and taking out all the flaps, so car was not performing well.

What a difference after a new manifold, ticking over about 800 rpm when warm and the performance is great, bought the car for swmbo but she has to prise the keys from me !

Thanks to everyone who offered advice, and Dave for the balance motor and Lewis for the manifold

Polished it today at a mini nano meet - some more pics from today on the nano website in my sig below if you want to take a look

Looking absolutely splendid Rob, really pleased you like your new ride.

She’s looking lovely Rob! I’m glad you’ve go the manifold fitted okay
