Crackers Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Investigation complete. There's a slightly leak from the manifold-downpipe gasket, which has been there since he's had it. Nothing major, just a little farty. Heres the main issue! VID_20220528_122218.mp4 Mrs6C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted May 28, 2022 Author Share Posted May 28, 2022 Tomorrow is Free the Vitesse day! (Sunday 29th May) We hope to start the Peugeot 504 Cabriolet and move it out of the garage so the Viteese which has not been started for nearly 2 years can be released into the wild. There will be a heap of things to move to the FoD using our W123 Mercedes. If you would like to train as a removal man witness this spectacle PM me for my address. beko1987, Crackers and LightBulbFun 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 Free The Vitesse Day! TSSC members turned out today to help me get out my Vitesse. It had been in the garage for 2 years but there was only one car in front of it so why did it take most of the day to get it out. Over the Covid years many things were placed around the cars and needed moving. We filled a large W123 Mercedes estate, Range Rover and had stuff in a BMW X1 and Citroen ZX Estate. That was just the stuff directly in the path of the cars ignoring the peripheral stuff. The Peugeot was difficult to start and did not run well but we did drive it out of the garage. Now for the main event, the Vitesse. Unfortunately in spite of removing brake drums and bleeding we could not get the brakes to have a useable pedal. The conclusion is the master cylinder is corroded and I have ordered a new one. It started reasonably wel, run a bit rough until warm and we did take it down the drive, but not on the road. Lunch was Pizza and then we moved the packed cars and the TSSC team set about levelling our container. Last man standing after a tiring day sped away in a Spitfire. dollywobbler, wuvvum, Floatylight and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share Posted May 30, 2022 43 minutes ago, wuvvum said: There's a 103 in there somewhere too... Oh yes. Panhard65 found a crankshaft in France and changed it for me. The threads where the generator fits were wasted away on mine and then he got it going. There are a few small jobs left to do such as fitting small fuel hose so the cover can fit back on and then it is ready to ride. This is not a field bike and I am planning to go out with 30 other old Cogger's in yellow vests followed by a Transit van to collect the breakdowns (Autocycle or rider)!
