Chris Harris On The Tools - Lancia Delta HF Integrale Update 

"Chris Harris on tools" = "Chris Harris leaves competent people work on his car while he pulls jokes" its brilliant! Also opportunity to do the 16v mod mate 😉

"Going to go over there and shout Fu*K Loudly" everyone who's owned an old car has done that at some stage - welcome to the club Chris

More of Chris being himself please. That’s why most of us can relate. Love to see your own programme/series.

“No Billy we have Tyrell’s Classic Workshop at home”. But in all seriousness, the bit where Harris screams off into the void had me in tears laughing at my desk. Absolute gold. 😂

We need more of "Chris the mechanic"!

This is absolutely fantastic as always. “In my diagnosis, this is mostly fucked.” The man has a way with words.

As a 8V owner, had to do this twice in 34 years ownership. My mechanic drives Porsches with my money 😊

I love watching Chris power slide a supercar around a circuit like Anglesey but this was my favorite Chris Harris video in a long long time. Please more Lancia workshop commentary 🙏

Chris' technical description of the state of his Lancia engine was priceless.

Chris is a funny guy. By far the only top gear host to compete with Clarkson & co. In fact he would have been a fantastic addition to the original three

Spot on, exactly the kind of grassroots Chris Harris I've missed during his Top Gear tenure.

Shouting 'Fu*k!' has been a regular pastime of mine.... certainly with my Alfa 147 GTA and especially sat in a A1 lay-by on a bank holiday weekend! 🤬😩🤣

Love the cadence and tempo of this vide. It’s like The Detectorists with cars. Lots more of this style please

Love Chris. We need more of him doing proper car stuff.

I simply love this level of automotive masochistic commitment. Been there done that having owned 3 80's alfas. Combination of financial restrain and what remained of my sanity cured me of this addiction.

Its very therapeutic to watch someone else experience the same level of pain you have after owing one of these. The crazy thing is, in the long run, its actually worth all the heartache, skinned knuckles and poverty inducing bills this car causes.

Brilliant. Back in the day, say 1991, a garage friend of mine was collecting an Integrale from a pilot in Edinburgh to replace the clutch. On the way to his Gorgie workshop he helped himself to the last of the clutch lining and not a little of the remarkably effective brake pads. Scariest drive of my life. It then took 36 workshop hours to replace the clutch, 36 hours! Not for the faint of spanner or the parsimonious of wallet content these things.

« My diagnosis would be that this is mostly fucked » Proper mechanical knowledge there Chris.

Love seeing this... fellow Integrale owner over here and yes this is accurate where every job on the delta does take bloomin ages. I once had to remove the engine to change an indicator bulb. ;-)

This is why i really appreciate the work of a mechanic that deals with old cars 🤣

Chris + Neil is a match in heaven. Epic presenter, and one of the most glorious camera operator/director guys around.

I had another issue but similar story, new engine build needed. It's worth the fight for your dreams, Delta is great!

Proudly purchased through Collecting Cars

getting mad with your car's technical issues is just what makes the relation one bit more special. fun to see where you get with her!

While maybe pained, it was hilarious fun to watch your reactions and commentary. Thank you for the (expensive) laugh.

Rename video 'Chris Harris DISTINCTLY off the tools (apart from a bonnet mount and a head bolt) and shouting F*** at Lancias' - all jokes aside, love seeing Chris away from the world of Top Gear. Refreshing to see an unscripted sense of humour and a nerdiness about cars. More car reviews please! Much thanks, a big fan 😊

i live for chris going on about anything. just so entertaining!

To honest mate, it's better to do a rebuild now instead of later. Engine remanufacturers have some really excellent methods to bring that tired old engine up to date and make it reliable. They can re-sleeve the bores and make it new again!! Looking forward to part 2 Chris. Good luck Bud!

Oh this is lovely. Given that Chris has a Lancia, I expect the next episode next week.

More videos like this with Chris please!

We've seen Harry's Garage go through restoration pain, time for Chris's turn :D Can't wait to see more!

I'm just thankful so far I haven't had too many problems with my XKR. Apart from the things that have gone wrong anyway, none of them so far have been ruinous.

Once its all been sorted Chris just think of the little gem you will have. I have always loved the Integrales but never been able to get my hands on one (maybe thankfully looking at yours).

Great fun.. Nice update Chris.. Looking forward to part 2..

I once changed the engine on my drive with the help of a friend., it was a nightmare. We added a highlift inlet cam, boost controller and BWE chip, made a big difference, was quicker than a standard 16v by a long way, never had it rolling roaded but should have been around 230hp with (if I remember correctly 1.2 bar) . You already have the 16v suspension and FE springs by the look of it. Loved that car. The soft and relatively cheap additions made it way more fun to hoon around in.

a lot of proper blokes in this video. and a car. a legend of a car which has certainly seen better days and I am not even sure the day it left the factory was one

im a retired technician and this really made me chuckle, not just lancia, same with any old car when you take the head off, at least it has 4 complete pistons ;), good luck chris..

Any 30 yr old car will be fun to work on but A Lancia especially so! Chris had me laughing so hard! Stick a 2.0 TFSI in there, it works for the rallycrossers

Excellent entertainment (at Mr Harris’ expense) literally.

Loved this video! I would love to see more of Chris Complaining and joking about in the workshop.

It’s so refreshing watching you in real situations, (uncensored) Chris. Welcome to working on cars……

Love it! Chris meets Harry’s Garage. ‘Oh Dear…’ replaced by ‘excuse me while I shout F***’

Oh Chris what where you thinking? Lancia are always trouble but as a passionate petrol head you can’t be blamed for the Lancia purchase, it’s an illness buying cars that you know will let you down time and time again? Luv it!!!

I bloody love this video! Keep them coming Chris!

Diagnostic skills. Priceless

More of this please, but longer.

Finally! Ive found something where im as competent as Chris; buying used cars! I wish it were drifting, but its a start.

Enjoyed this alot !!! I’ve stood behind and passed tools as my mate fixed whatever crap i had brought 😂😂😂 Chris , i found that Stella normally helped. The bottles out of tesco express fridge 👌👌👌👌 Mix it up with some Heineken / san miguel , winnners !!

I bought a new Lancia Prisma (Delta with a boot) back in the 80s, it was either possessed or had an early version of auto headlights as they came on every time it rained. The dealer & importer Lancar were unable to fix so exchanged for a new car after a 6 month battle. First & last Italian car(s?) I will ever buy!

Oh Chris!!!! If any good will come from this its that my life long love of the Integrale is waning fast, and therefore, I will be a richer man for it.

comedy genius - more of this please Chris

I congratulate you on buying a normal affordable legend and using it as intended Look forward to some more vids

This I really enjoyed! More of this please!

very entertaining. Thank you CC and CH.

"Mostly Fuked" - Brilliant! I have always wanted an Integrale but having owned a SuperMirafiori back in the day I think this has confirmed that maybe I won't go down that route. Good luck with the engine though Chris.

Chris harris is at his best when he's not on telly. Just a lad with a few bob, that can drive the wheels off almost anything, a love for car's and will buy a lemon just as quickly as any of us muppets. 😂👍

The music makes Chris’ pain even more funny. Looking forward to part 2

More of this pls Chris

This is how you do it! 👌🏻 Unlike the Drivetrive drivel with 3 million adverts in it!

Love videos like this, we have all experienced that horrible moment when your bank balance goes to zero before your very eyes all because of a car/cars

Brilliant keep them coming!

Wow Chris this is the car that has given me the love of hatchbacks. I'm 51 and still love the look of butch hatchback...We need proper AWD hatchbacks not pseudo haldex...

First car i ever drove, yellow HF and i have been in love with this car ever since, always wanted one, very jealous and if you need it washing ever bring it round 🙂

Chris, Harry spent over 80k getting his Lancia sorted. Good luck fella!

I owned a Evo1 'grale for 7 years and incredibly it was pretty much 100% reliable! Well, except when it came to the morning of the sale, with the buyer already on their way to pick the car up, washed it and took it for a short half mile down the road to dry the brakes off, and the engine suddenly lost all boost. There is a tiny little circlip on the turbine bypass peny valve that keeps the boost control capsule arm attached and that clip had rusted away and fallen off. .No problem a new circlip is just a couple of pence. EXCEPT you can't get to it, it's buired between the block and turbo. With the engine out, sure it's a 2 min easy swap, with the engine in, er nope, depsite much bodging of "specialist tools" (using the oxy tourch to bend long nose pliers into increasinly weird shapes...) the front of the car had to come off to fix it......

Long time fan Chris. Only problem is I've been a mechanic for the entirety of my working life. Sometimes you would review a car a recommend it and would just have to disagree because I knew of certain bolts.

This may be my favorite piece of Chris Harris film yet! Years of drifting hyper cars and yelling “What a thing!” made me a fan forever after… but this, this is the tits. Nice one, boys!

Great to see Harris doing some work!

chris harris is a national treasure. and i'm not even british.

Building the brand, one hysterical moment at a time 🤣🤣 Genius!

Look at it this way. Now is the perfect time to fit some forged pistons and beefy rods, bigger turbo plus a few other things, then double the boost.

Chris, It’s not just your Lancia. It’s EVERYTHING Italian. From a Vespa to a Lambo, they are All like that to work on

Keep giving us videos like this.

So much more interesting than bloody power slides, haha ❤

This is the kind of special car ownership experience many can relate to.

Lancia Delta Integrale 8 and 16V Turbo, THE QUEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Twin Cams Lampredi Engine!!!!! Electronic Control "Magneti Marelli!!!" 10 World Titles, 6 factory, 4 Pilots, RECORD STILL UNBEATEN TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Come On Italy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💪🏻💚💪🏻🤍💪🏻❤️💪🏻

Right there with ya Chris, my evoluzione is about to have a full engine rebuild. Have yet to take it all apart and see just what needs doing (engine is out already though) Also have to take the opportunity to figure out the wiring, so the radio doesn't shut off when the fan turns on (I know you fixed this!)

Many more hours of this please.

The Integrale was probably the fastest car point-to-point on any random road surface until the introduction of the high output WRX STI in 1997. The difference is that the STI is infinitely better than the Lancia. :P

Delivering the truth when tinkering with cars. Not the 2 minute engine swaps on other you tubers 😂

Sold my 8v cat integrale (de-catted so 215 bhp). Fantastic to drive, but the electrics were a nightmare!

Thx Chris, keep ‘em coming

Top Gear with Chris and Mat Armstrong would be epic - properly about cars!

Oh I haven’t guffawed at a video for some time. The diagnosis and dire scream at the end being the best bits. Amazingly short but sweet. Hmm… am I describing the video or Chris??

Fantastic! great to get to grits with it. Thank you ...keep em coming please

The head is actually easy. Try changing the clutch on the Integrale and let us know how it went.

Owned 3 examples , 16v, evolution, and one of the last evolution 2s. All solid and reliable, low depreciation. The problem is that some are inevitably worn. And some have not been maintained. Best suspension was on the evolution, best engine was the last evolution which was remapped for a bit more power and torque. Biggest regret is that I did not hold onto it.

I would watch a whole series of this, and it would be more entertaining than peak wheeler dealers, up there with Retro power and maybe on a par with project Binky.

Thanks Chris....you made me buy one... Now this!!! Mine is great now, buy mine!

Best. Episode. Ever!

We need more of this style of Chris Harris please 😂😂😂

Brilliant!!!🫣👍🏼🫣👍🏼😳😳😂😂😂😂🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗

More Harris on the tools please 😆

Awesome diagnosis of the situation Chris 🤣

Love the video, I can relate to this when I had my delta 1600GT, loved the twin cam. I had loads of Italian cars, love it when you take your skin off, swear and curse to why was it designed that way or get shit your eyes when working under them 👍😊

"Mechanics are my heroes." - Tomy Drissi

Remember Chris - Cars are pain, no more so when they are 'classic'.

Genuinely a really good watch. Could even be more drawn out and made longer if the footage allows for it!

Stick with it Chris. I had a1984 HPE Volumex here in NZ, so no salt rust. Thing was a shooting brake rocket-ship. Would be worth a fortune now and I would do anything to hear that supercharger sound once again. Have a 1992 G60 Corrado now being rebuilt.

Any time I think to myself "I like cars, I should get a fun car" I see a video like this and just can not be bothered. I'm not rich enough to have someone do that work for me.
