Nice to have access to a Aqua blaster

Hi Pete. Thanks for offer. I've managed to source 1 now. Cheers Nick

Hi all. Mine has a nasty crack in it. So looking for another. Not having much luck. Anybody got any pointers. Have tried usual suppliers. Cheers Nick

Thanks Pete. A few things to check there. Will let you know how I get on. Just 1 other thing. The amount of tangs on the back plate is different on different websites. 1 has 12 and another has 15. Does this make a difference?. Seems strange to me Anyway Thanks again. Nick

Cheers for that guys. Pete. I started to have problem getting reverse a little while ago. Then getting 1st to 2nd was a bugger!. Was having to push pedal thru floor. I've changed master and slave cylinders, bled the hell out of it!. New oil. Was better for a while but still difficult getting gears. Feels like it's not disengaging enough. Thought about extending push rod?. So put some nuts behind slave to bring out a bit. Just the same. So think clutch u/s. Anything else I can try?. Cheers Nick

Hi Thanks for replies. Have seen both of these. Is the Canley set Borg and Beck, if not are they any good?. They are half the price of Rimmers and the set on here. Dont want to be having to do it again in a year. Dont mind paying the extra if its worth it. Got a guy whos gonna do job for me as my back is not up to it anymore. Hes advised to get a Borg and Beck set. Cheers Nick

Hi. Can anyone guide me to the correct cluych for my 1970 Mk2 vitesse. It has an overdrive. Some sites say it makes a difference some not. Tried Rimmers/Mev spares/Canleys all different prices and different codes Cheers Nick

Hi. Just checked in dizzy. The module was all good, but the advance rod had managed to unhook itself from the plate. Been for test run and all fine and dandy again. Thanks for the heads up Paul. Had no issues with this set up till now. will see how it goes. Cheers again till next time Nick

Hi Paul. Thanks for that i,ll check that out and let you know. Didn't think to check in cap as its brand new set up. Cheers Nick.

Hi all. My Mk2 Vitesse has suddenly started to misfire at around 2-3k revs when under load. when ticking over it sounds fine. Its now running Accuspark dizzy,coil and leads with new plugs. has been running really well up to last week.Timing seems spot on, ive now changed the diaphrams in both stroms. pulling the choke out seemed to make it worse and stalled it. It does seem to feel like a fuel issue. Any info or ideas will be appreciated. Bit of a pain as i use her everyday for work. Cheers Nick

Yeah right site. This is open to anyone. Thanks for including that link. Thought I'd take my vitesse along. Remember talking to someone about meeting up at about 1 for the drive up is all. Just wanted to see if anyone knew Cheers Nick

Hi all Is anyone from the Farehan area going to this on Sunday the 4th. If so where and what time is the meet in fareham to drive up to Alton on Sunday?. Cheers Nick

Hi all. Does anyone know if these are still available for a Mk2 Vitesse. Is there anywhere to get reconditioned ones. Think the pins on the shoes are pulling through the holes. Cheers Nick

Hi Pete. The flange was ok. I had a look at it as they were doing the work. Didn't know they'd done it like this till I got it back. Just thought it strange. They're not the sharpest tools in the box! I'm afraid. I'm a precision engineer by trade so a bit picky sometimes. Gonna see what they say tomorrow. Cheers for info guys. Nick

Thought it looked wrong. They've ground the uprights off. Guess I'll have to paint that edge then!. Cheers Nick

Hopefully there should be some photos. I thought the outer sill was called a cover sill. I may be wrong. Cheers Nick

Hi Pete. I'll have a go tomorrow. Cheers Nick

Hi all. My vitesse convertible has just had the bodywork restored and they have put the cover sill on the outside,which looks wrong as any water would go between the surfaces rather than run out. Do the cover sill go on the inside or the outside of the inner sill?. Any info would be appreciated.Cheers Nick

Sorry please ignore the first part.it seems to have copied and pasted an old post

Hi all. I,very git a new extending aerial that fit in the back wing into boot as was there b4. The problem is it's about 2 inches longer than the 1 that came out and hits the inner wheel arch. Dies anyone know where I can get a shorter aerial. Cheers Nick

Hi all. I'm refitting the rear seat into my vitesse convertible. I've put the side panels and back in. Does the seat have to push back so it goes over the front edge lip,where the carpet is. It's in but sitting about an inch forward of the lip. Do I need to put the bottom in first and the push the back part down. All seems a bit tight in there. Cheers Nick

Hi again Paul. Just seen your vitesse on another post. Looks nice. Your tyres look big in the wheel wells. Do you have any problem with rubbing either on the inside or outside of the tyre. Mine tends to rub on the drivers side when turning left. I mostly drive alone and am 15st ish. Any info would be interesting. Cheers Nick

Hi Paul. Cheers for that. I thought so. I've had other old cars and that's how they were. Just needed to be sure. Brute force it is then 😊. Cheers Nick

Hi All Thanks for input. I,ve ordered a pair which were £55 delivered so happy with that. There seems to be quite a price range on stuff for our passion eh!. Some research always pays. Getting advice from you people on here is very good. Just waiting for them to put the new hood on and i should be getting her back Monday after a 10 month refurbish. Cant wait! Cheers guys. Nick.
