Someone’s already said, but you need to sort that fuse out that’s got the fuse wire behind it. If you put a 30A fuse on top of a piece of 30A fuse wire, you now have the equivalent of a 60A fuse in that position, which is only slightly safer than putting a nail in it.

[@scotty6346]

The first thing to do on a triumph straight six is fit a spin on oil filter conversion kit, The original oil filter assembly drains the oil back as it has no oil return valve. Every time you start it will take like 10 seconds for the oil light to extinguish as it has to prime the oil filter bowl thus putting more wear on the engine 👍 Having now watched the full video the gearbox is knackered, The Vitesse used an up graded Herald box but it was not up to the job.

[@tastyclassics]

That oil filter was an absolute ball ache to change aswell 😅

It's what killed my GT6 engine, its quite common. Love the finished car, I am going to have a go.

My first car was a Triumph Vitesse WAR 153E plenty of power from those 6 cylinders. I do know that the rear welding underneath where the rear stabilisers meet the short chassis cross member was due to a weak point when putting your foot down causing the break. Happened to me twice and was like driving a crab when you put your foot down as the axle would move. Great classic little car 👍

[@ivanbrennan9405]

There is a coolant drain plug at the rear right side of the engine block at the bottom. These straight six engines like to collect a layer of silt there. It's a great place to flush the block from. Also the rad is supposed to have a cowling around it to direct the airflow. It really affects cooling above 40mph. Car looks great and I've put a punt on in the raffle 🤞

[@mickblizzard1389]

My dad bought a regular Herald back in the mid 60’s, lovely little car. He always told me his dream car was the Vitesse. In later years I had an immaculate Mk1 Spitfire 4 moving on to a GT6 a few years later. Great vid Ben 👍 very enjoyable 🤘 Thanks

I’ve just recently started watching this channel. I love it. I grew up fixing old cars and I feel very fortunate for that. My first car was a L reg hillman avenger. Bens brilliant at bringing these old classics back to life. Love how he comes across. I don’t watch tv anymore. This is better.

[@steelhelmetstan7305]

I love your channel and what you do on it m8....your laid back and optimistic approach is first rate. I do have to say though I cringe when you use a grinder with no eye protection....I've worked in engineering all my life and getting a spark in the eye isn't any fun, especially having to go to the eye infirmary where they will remove it with a needle!!😮😮😮....in the worst case you could get blinded in your eye. Even in the late 80s when I was an apprentice, grinding without eye protection would of gotten you the sack!!!...honestly m8 , you only get one pair of eyes.....apart from that , keep up the very very good work 😊😊😊

[@awalk5177]

If I remember correctly, there is a little lever low down on the petrol tank, which allows you to switch to a lower lever of pickup to act as a reserve level of petrol. I wonder if this one has that feature ? Of course you had to remember to switch it back when you fill up , otherwise you are running on the low level all the time. It must have been designed in expecting that the fuel gauge would fail at some time.

[@alcord2540]

I had an early vitesse back in the early 1970s.It was the 1600 engine without an oil cooler(which was on the later 2 litre engine).It had an oil pressure gauge and i drove it on the new M3 from Farnborough to Basingstoke.Oil pressure dropped to about 25 psi.There were several handling mods.Take off the rear leaf spring and turn over mid 2 leaves.This lowers it and gives slight negative rake.Front wishbones with thin spacers give similar rake on front.I replaced the gearbox with a recon one.Quite easy taking the cover off in the cabin.

What a beautiful day to take the Triumph Herald Vitesse out for the first time in 40 years. It’s dripping in 1960s British charm. My step mum had one in red, a convertible, with a cream top, iirc. I don’t know if it was a Vitesse or just a four cylinder Herald. I don’t remember ever being driven in it. Perhaps she hardly used it. She was an old fashioned, stay at home mum. I was pretty young (b. 1960) & she’s not around to ask. My family didn’t do photo albums. My wife does, so our grandchildren will be able to look back to before they were born.

Ditto I was born 1960 too, I have a MK3 Triumph spitfire which I restored 26 years ago, not been in a vittesse but was taken out in a MK1: cortina by m and d👍

[@lrcb40]

Its a Herald or a Vitesse

[@joe2mercs]

It is a “great little car”. My father had a 1275 Herald estate and on occasion when it visited the garage he was lent a Vitesse as a courtesy car. As compared to the herald I remember the ability of the Vitesse to drive up steep hills in top gear all the while gaining in speed. That straight six had good pulling power.

[@chrispybee]

What a lovely episode. That front splitter is what makes the car look quite aggressive / sporty - if that’s a thing for this car 😅 Another awesome resurrection video. What gets me is the front is very timeless and defo could be on a car today, not so the rear..

[@StuartDavenall]

Hi, much enjoy your work with classics, your enthusiasm seems boundless! Just a little word of help, don't leave the ignition on for longer than a couple of minutes or so because the coil can overheat.

[@stevenwesthead636]

If both temp and fuel gauge aren’t working it could be the instrument voltage regulator at fault. Also for clearing blocked cooling systems try sulphamic acid (NOT sulphuric acid which sounds similar but strangely isn’t) - it looks like sugar but don’t put it in your tea. Dissolves all calcium deposits and is the most effective coolant flush I’ve ever used.

[@GT380man]

Interesting. What are the chances that deposit removal will expose a leak (& what do you think of radweld type products)?

[@GT380man]

Good idea about the instrument cluster potentially being the faulty part, to account for u/s temp & fuel gauges. How would you go about confirming that diagnosis?

[@paulbillingham4594]

I have really enjoyed this little car. Its the same year as me and has been off the road the same length of time as I have had my license. So glad you are restoring this sensibly. I cannot stand people who use words like concourse and pour time and money into a car they are afraid to use. This was a boy racer car in its early days and has picked up the Carlos Fandango wing mirrors and air scoop that were common in the mid 1970's. My Dad had one which was a convertible which he kept for a week before selling it. On the plus side he replaced it with a Beetle built in 1959 which was green, had three orange wings and was called Herbie in our family. The fueling appealed more to my Dads not liking petrol stations. Over a quid for a gallon of petrol in 1977! I will buy a ticket as love Spits and Heralds and that engine sounds so sweet. Just as an aside. I have pulled out those Borg Warner overdrive gearboxes and put them in kit cars. Please make sure the box and diff have fresh oil and new seals as they don't last long if run low and the overdrive can be wrecked quickly.

Hardeners are all different. Years ago my neighbour had a cottage industry coating paxolin in moulds to create the insulating section for overhead electric railway cables (so the pantograph didn't pop up between sections) and he trialled various resins and hardeners to obtain best results.

I’ve spotted two VW Beetle engine lids on the wall in your videos, it would be great to see a video on a bug, Their so easy to work on.

2 years, over 50 cars and fast approaching 300 videos! It’s a crime you’ve not burst through 100k subscribers, my weekends would be a lot duller if it wasn’t for your graft and passion for old motors. Really hope the raffle raises a decent sum that you can ‘invest’ in the mad dog Capri project. Smashed it yet again Ben, we’ll done.
