Re: Vitesse just passed mot
They're currently out of stock (have been for a few months now) but keep an eye on it and they may return soon :

Big question is, have you got the lowered Vitesse springs on it? If not you'll get away with those, if you do then you'll need the Vitesse spec shocks becuase of shorter travel, sharper damping.
Re: Vitesse just passed mot
I’m not sure if it’s lowered but it doesn’t look it
Be nice if it was lol
Fitting c.v joint today...gotta knock on n/s front think the shock seems soft...will know more today
Thanks again for the help

Re: Vitesse just passed mot
Thanks Dave will check it when back at work
It’s a drop link type knock from near side but haven’t driven it since cv joint been changed
I’m starting the bodywork now
The lcd display doesn’t work must be common and revs are a bit high when cold if you e come across anything before
Thanks again rick

Re: Vitesse just passed mot
Which LCD and what do you call a bit high on the revs Rick?
Re: Vitesse just passed mot
The one under the stereo
Revs from cold about 1500rpm but settles after it warms up

Re: Vitesse just passed mot
There isn't one unless you have the VCM and then there's a choice of two.
Has the battery been disconnected recently for anything?
Re: Vitesse just passed mot
Not sure what a vcm is
Yes it’s had a new battery but seemed ok at first
Might have a look at it during the week....might be worth cleaning out throttle body
I’m not very sure on this injection system
Will have a look at it

Vehicle Condition Monitor - display showing various parameters and fuel computer.
If it's recently had a new battery, leave it alone. It will sort itself out. Assuming that is that the battery is ok.
Most new batteries are silver-calcium technology which means they have a silver-calcium coating on the plates. In turn, this usually means they ned an extra ~0.1V per cell (6 cells in the battery) to start charging so they don't start charging until the alternator voltage is 14.7V minimum. The alternator on the car won't do this but i have come up with a modification so it will.
That said, some calcium batteries will charge on 14.4V, obviously the ones without too much of a coating on the plates. The problem arises if the battery isn't getting enough voltage to start the charging and then they gradually run flat over a period of use. Eventually this kills the battery.
Meanwhile, don't touch the injection system!
