Hi. Where can I find a detailed list of every part that makes up a Series 2 Metrocab? i.e. where every bit comes from, and not just the obvious bits like; dashboard from a Metro, rear lights from mk4 Escort, etc., but which vehicle shares the fuel guage sender in the fuel tank, and which vehicle uses the same rear axle and kingpins !!!

Also, where can I get a copy of a workshop manual?

Regards. darth

I don't think they do a manual for Metrocabs or TX2's, I could be wrong though.

I think D.C.ROBINSON http://www.dc-robinsonandson.co.uk/ once told me they could order a workshop manual for me (although this was a few years ago) about £40 if my memory serves me well.

Thanks for that. Have managed to locate a service manual on CD Rom for £25 delivered.

Hey Stu,

Got the CD (turned up yesterday) direct from Metrocab... Check their web site for the number in Tamworth. It's pretty comprehensive, although even though it shows a good blow up of the kingpins, doesn't show how to rebuild them, but gives [edited by admin] loads of technical data. So far I'm getting most of my part from them too. 8)
