Well the alarm arrived well within schedule and so far a 100% rating . I’ve installed it against the cabin fire wall to the right of the steering wheel. I like having it not on view and the rules say the alarm doesn’t like getting wet . Only issue was the fuse rating . I removed the inline fuse and connected to a bladed fuse box . The pink coloured blade fuse was pink so assumed incorrectly it must be 4 amp . There were no ratings on the supplied blade . Needless to say the 5amp fuse blew and the fuse failure light turned on . How does that work ???? . Anyway added the supplied fuse and the alarm works . It’s very loud indeed . Supplied with 2 key fobs the alarm is fully controllable . Click to alarm and a bleep says it’s armed . Open the door and the alarm goes off . The alarm had 7 sensitivity settings and the default is 4 which is fine so slamming the door will certainly trigger the alarm. When it goes off there are 3 bleeps to start with then If after 6 seconds the alarm is still triggered a 30 second blast follows . The key fobs can test or cancel the alarm at any time . I can set the alarm from a good distance as well . Wiring is just 2 wires All for £13.86 delivered . Just noticed the price is now £13.93 😱

It probably isn’t but the mag plug goes in the filler Paul

Their out of stock is a waiting time of s few days only . But I think Dave is on holiday for a week . Buy 2 to get the diff done as well Paul

Canleys sell a sump plug with Magnet https://www.canleyclassics.com/?diagram=triumph-herald-13/60-gearbox-mainshaft&ptno=ULC1998 I thinks it’s a 23 mm bolt , so no issues on removing any more , just change the copper washer every oil change Paul

I recently bought some Vitesse doors from TLD maybe they were from 6001 😜 Paul

I agree stopped using my air powered sanders for the same reason Paul

Im no expert as only used 2k primer for the last month . Flash time is the time before you can apply a second coat of 2k primer Pot time is the length of the time the mixed primer will last . Paul

I found heating up a stubborn bolt and spraying WD40 , some smoke 😱 needed several applications and worked for me Paul

Re your cellulose issue is it a recent respray ? Paul

That must be Lynford Stag picnic area ? Paul

I see the Spitfire which started this thread has been sold so guess it made good monies. Paul

Another vote for Silent Coat . Best prices were from Amazon Paul

Went for it and spent £13.86 on https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-Car-Alarm-Security-System-Anti-Theft-Burglar-w-2-Remote-Control/153276517670? Its simple to fit with just 2 wires , and works on an adjustable sensitivity switch . Hopefully it’s nice and loud as hoping it will fit underneath the Drivers seat . Here’s hoping I don’t forget to deactivate 😱. Pete , I did check whether a free COVID virus would be included, apparently they have run out so including a free vaccine. I will report back when the alarm arrives from China , approx 1 month Paul

Same with me , no pics visible Paul

Here’s a pic of a pedal which came as spares when I purchased my vitesse not sure what’s it off though others will confirm if the clip is the same . If it is the pedal clip you can have it if it helps Paul

Looks like this might fit the bill https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-Car-Alarm-Security-System-Anti-Theft-Burglar-w-2-Remote-Control/153276517670? Paul

I would like to add a very simple alarm system to my Vitesse Saloon which is triggered by opening the car doors or better still a “trembler” switch . Operated by a remote device . Paul

50 mile round trip today with good weather and lots of fresh air , and the Vitesse behaved well Paul

Pete do I need renta crowd with the trackrite? Paul

Thanks Nick now I know it’s excessive Toe In I know what to expect when I check and measure Paul

Here’s a pic of the offside front tyre on my Vitesse . The near side tyre has no apparent wear. Mileage approx 4K Is this wear on the outer edge due to excessive Toe In or Toe Out ? Thanks in advance Paul

Or using Uncle Petes advice hold the gearstick when od drops out and if od reengages it’s the inhibitor switch needs re positioning . That’s what happened to me in my Vitesse Paul
