Around it I wanted a wood ”box”. The Wood is aged using coffee and it looks great. In addition I made a small casing for spa...

Re: Manalishis Mk 1a 827 Vitesse (manual)

Good evening folks! I have a small issue with the 827 Vitesse that I would like to discuss. The last few days the PGMFI light has come on sporadically and there is the odd very minor cut out. No problem in starting or driving except for That. My old 216 coupe had a PGMFI relay problem where a resold...

Washed up and ready for Car meet

Tomorrow is an excellent day. Both my Rovers are going to a car and swap meet in Västerås. It’s a 100km trip so pretty close.
Marcus is driving The Black Beast and I’ll be driving the Coupe.

Re: Manalishis 820 Vitesse Coupe

Yes it feels somewhat safer knowing the fluids are fresh. I really enjoy it, last season was really useless with More or less no driving at all. It still makes a strange noise When pulling away and the Clutch needs more bleeding But overall it drives very Well. On the plus side, the tester couldn’t ...

Re: Manalishis 820 Vitesse Coupe

Quite annoying. My old, but new battery is dead. I’ve had it on one of those low power charger (probably a better Word for it…) during winter and it came to Life perfectly as I took it out from the garage But now it’s dead not accepting charging. Gave it a try in the 827 to rule out any errors in th...

Re: Manalishis 820 Vitesse Coupe

Yes! Approved today and the tester was even impressed by the state and quality. So Now it’s taxfree and only need a testing every second year so next Time in 2025!

Up for the test on friday. https://i.postimg.cc/LYfZj4pM/1-FF45-B7-B-B947-48-A8-81-B3-72-EC714-D9-EAF.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/xN2N5rfN/6-A0-FAB52-AC5-A-47-D7-BAC...
