It’s been reduced , it’s now only £8,250,000 just saved you some pennies Paul

I fitted Mgf seats , highly recommended , I do have fitting instructions if needed plus you can add heated seat elements Paul

Can EP 80 / 90 be mixed with EP 90 ? How often should gearbox and overdrive oil be changed ? Thanks Paul

The gap on the drivers side is filled with silicone . Need to remove and try to reduce the gap. The alloy sill cover on the passenger side . Is this an aftermarket product or a standard fitting ?

Hi Pete I think you are correct it’s certainly 2 Layers on both sides . Were sill repair sections available ? Paul

Hi Pete just checked the passenger side and the gap is an overlap and the alloy plate is still in place . I know why the cosmetic filler was done 😱The following pics are the passenger side showing a normal step Paul

Hi, new sills nearly ready for fitting on my Vitesse. Spraying done , a few blemish corrections and buffing before polishing . Turned my attention to cleaning up the drivers side step which had been smothered with filler . The metal is sound so guess it was cosmetic . There is now a clear step between the body shell and the the bulkhead . Previously this was filled and smoothed . Is the step normal ? First pic shows the step and second pic shows the new protector which will be fitted . Previously there was an hammered alloy cover which is much longer than the new one and extended the full length of the door opening . Not sure if this was original or a diy job Paul

This is the correct reference for door seals for the Herald / Vitesse https://coh-baines.co.uk/product/dx-73-composite-self-grip-type-draught-excluder/ You will need to order 8 metres Paul

Thread Drift to main topic 😋 Use a Herald / Vitesse windscreen wiper to clean the shower . Great for curved panels . Modern wiper blades wont open enough to take on the curve Paul

Agree high postage costs and lack of information and no photos put me off Paul

Another vote for COB . I’ve now got the correct door seals for my Vitesse Paul

1 1/8 has slight play so 28 mm should be fine Paul

Yes being mains powered it should have enough NM . mine came from Lidl and 330nm Paul

You need and impact wrench for this one Paul

The top is used for splitting the hub . I’ve not used this part as not applicable to the mk2 Vitesse with doughnuts Paul

This is my Puller Paul

I’ve got Gaz on my Vitesse no 2 setting , work well for me Paul

I sold my modern on Autotrader in early April enabling me to buy a replacement when the motor trade opened on April 12 . I knew what we needed and had a list . We purchased the replacement at 11am on the 12th April with a deal I was happy with . I went in the following week and 80% of their forecourt had changed together with several 21’s waiting to be collected . We’re going from 2 cars to one , plus of course our Vitesse . The second car is on Autotrader with a couple of enquires already . There’s a lot of pent up demand and equally a good supply of moderns . Not sure how that applies to classics but my guess is that is prices will trend up as there will be more buyers than sellers . There’s little point in saving with our low interest rates and COVID has given us a lot of time to reflect and decide what’s important in life Paul
