Will This Abandoned Triumph Dolomite Run And Drive?

[@chrisbird4176]

I’m not big on commenting, but these last two videos are worth calling out. The UK CarTuber world needed some fresh ideas and this is one of them, with limited resources trying to solve problems to get something home. Compelling story to tell, and hey if you break down half way and have to bodge it to get the rest that’s even better story to tell! Really enjoyed these videos.

It feels a bit like British low-key Roadkill (if you can get any lower-key than Roadkill). Their episodes where they did something like an engine swap in a freezing car park before driving 1000 miles were some of the best. Just like these!

Keep going with yours!! My first car was a 1977 Dolomite 1500HL in green too - I bought it in 1984. I knew nothing about the mechanics of cars, and I’d had it about 3 years, with lots of breakdowns, and one checked the oil and forgot to put the dipstick back in! When I realised the next day someone had taken the dipstick which I’d left outside the house. I drove round town ok for a couple of days, but then went on a 70mph dual carriageway. The oil light came on (it didn’t occur to me that the oil was coming out of the dipstick hole) so I kept going. The engine started making a nasty noise so I turned the music up and tried to get to the next exit - then the engine blew! Oh to be young and stupid. Got a reconditioned engine but it never drove the same - sold it as a non runner for £50. Fond memories watching your video.

Nice Dolomite. I owned a Dolomite Sprint for ten years, so I can say that your car bodywork is pretty good order. Areas to keep an eye on are behind the headlight covers.

This is coming from a fellow numpty who recently fried the electrics in his Jaguar XK8 after fitting a new battery the wrong way round! I learned how to fix cars the same way as you, through experiences, good or bad! And , like you, I learned how to be methodical going through the basics. Btw, with carbureted cars, work on the basis that they are always blocked, and always need some fettling. Keep it up mate!

Came across this video today and was compelled to watch it! I learned to drive in a Toledo. My first car was a 1978 blue dolly 1500hl with overdrive, my second car was a red 1500hl without overdrive. The two cars were streets apart as to how they drove. I loved the first one. My grandad had a 1975 Dolomite 1850, from new. Ziebart underseal. Inspected every year. Never went in the garage wet. Always leathered off. It was his pride and joy and someone still has it on the road today. Those were the days even I was happy to do some DIY mechanics! Happy memories of better times. Thanks for bringing them back.

This is my new favorite channel, I like your channel because it focuses on normal, day-to-day cars or affordable classic cars that most of us can relate to. Plus, the fact that you fix these cars with normal, affordable tools on the roadside or in driveways, without fancy equipment, makes it even more relatable to most people. Keep up the good work!

[@topgazza]

I’m sure you thought this but the first thing I would do is change all the engine fluids before running it up. Especially the auto box oil, if it has a separate oil supply. This will possibly cure the gearbox problem anyway. But otherwise what a superb job and a very entertaining video. Great stuff and I’m now subscribed 😊

Just found this wonderful video. Thank you so much. My late Father had a Triumph 1500TC . He bought it as a demonstrator with about 3000 miles on the clock. P reg. My Mother took it over after he'd had it about 3 years and she used it for a few more years. I then had it off her and it was immaculate. I had a company car from my employer and the Triumph was taking space in the garage . One of my friends desperately wanted it so stupidly I sold it to him. He had it only a few weeks and he had a bad accident and wrote it off. I so wish I had it now. It was great seeing this video as it made me see what it would be like now. I should never had sold it especially as it was low mileage and in as new condition. I must have been mad 🥴

I've liked Triumph Dolomites since seeing a minter of a white Dolomite Sprint on road sections between stages while spectating in a Scottish Rally about 1988. It was lowered and on Minilites (my favourite old skool alloys). The old guy driving it overtook us on the exit to a roundabout. Left our XR3i in the weeds.

I greatly admire the flexibility you have in the UK, where it's possible to work on your cars in parking lots. In contrast, where I live, any car work in public spaces is typically reported, and the police may issue fines. As a result, we are required to either take our vehicles to a garage or pay for access to a self-service garage in order to perform repairs.

[@De5O54]

Lived in Germany - against the law to go under your own car and repair or maintain anything. It is a safety law.

[@TheObnoxiousMrPug]

@@De5O54 Total nonsense. Doing basic maintenance like changing the oil, replacing the battery, spark plugs or light bulbs, airing or swapping the tyres, filling fluids and even doing body or engine work yourself is definitely allowed. If you couldn't, there wouldn't have been parts stores and car deconstruction companies everywhere, where you can buy perfectly good second-hand parts to use in your projects. However, if road safety is concerned, repairs have to be conducted by a certified mechanic with a proper workshop, tools and access to parts. That includes things like brake work, steering, wheel alignment, etc.

​@@TheObnoxiousMrPugthink he meant working on any car on a public road. Possibly car parks are seen a public not private land. Germany is strict depending where you live.

[@baxdesign]

@necridkee, where do you live, so I know never to drive through there?

[@woody1760ify]

In the UK a car cannot be on a public road without an MOT or road tax. Illegal. Private property then yes. So when he mends this car then just goes for a spin without either then it's a no no.

[@aaronditchfield781]

you reached a point where weekly vids would be hugely beneficial

[@Doug56]

Always check the boot of a car you buy, what's in there will tell you a lot, for instance, the two carbs, that would have raised my suspicion immediately, you were told it was a non runner, there are two carbs in the boot which looked pretty good, and a carb repair kit, also, you can only accurately check the gearbox oil, with the engine running.

[@michaellinahan7740]

Now that brings back some memories and sadly not all of them good. I had a manual dolomite 1500TC as my first car way back in 1978. When it was in the right mood it went like doo doo off a shovel, however, having to take the gearbox out through the car to replace a clutch (or two) was one PITA and setting up the twin 1.5inch SU carbs was often dependant on the way the wind was blowing. It eventually failed by throwing a rear half shaft after a mechanic 'friend' replaced a wheel bearing and reused the split pin holding the castled nut on. It broke and all I remember is seeing the wheel and half shaft bouncing away and disappearing on Galleywood common; the frame was twisted soo badly that the insurance company scrapped it (I never told them about the part played by my ex mate).

Great vid, am amazed that the bottom hasn't rotted through though, most of these that I have seen have -when they made them like this, they had no computers or complex systems they were as basic as you could get, and as such most jobs could be done at home, even if it meant using an a-frame and block and tackle on your drive - it could still be done.

I'm not interested in fixing car engines, or so I thought until I watched your video . I really enjoyed it .

I had a 1972 Triumph 1500 which was basically a Dolomite but front wheel drive and also a Dolly 1300.. Loved em both!!!

My first car that I bought for £200, drove it before I passed my test. It was yellow and had the nick name of "the yellow peril" wings rusted on the top, that was the only bad part really, front seats and quick recliner levers, quite handy in certain circumstances lol, always wanted to get another.

For any have a go amateur mechanic this is just the best channel, fun and real!

I absolutely love your channel. I don't know if its a good thing or not but thanks to you I have built up enough courage to finally fulfill my plan of having a workshop for classic cars. I will start working at a Porsche restauration place and hope to own my own workshop a few years down the road

Love this idea. Buy something not running somewhere in the country and try get it to drive home. Makes a welcome change from the usual kind of videos on these kinds of channel. Keep it up I say, nice little niche.
