Re: Help finding tie rods?

Indeed I have, but I haven't asked about a rack so I might drop him an email and ask!

Re: Help finding tie rods?

Yeah - it's not going to be easy to repair the rear quarter haha!

Have you got their ebay sellers ID? I can't seem to find them on ebay to see if they have a rack or not. But I agree, I think i'll have to replace the rack, it sounds like the rods aren't really serviceable :/

Cheers!

Help finding tie rods?

Hi Guys, Unfortunately me and my pride of joy (1986 1.6 laser) slid into a ditch a few months back during the random cold spell and ice the UK had :cry: . Long story short, I hit a tree and buggered a lot of things up. One of those things is a bent inner tie rod - it looks like I might have both sid...

Re: Speedo bouncing

Thanks for all the help guys, just to update, I took the Speedo cable off the gear box today (circlip was there) then I was able to reach up behind the dash and remove the plastic retaining clip for the Speedo cable and pull it out. Once it was in a more accessable position, I could pull the inner o...

Re: Speedo bouncing

Thanks everyone for the comments, it makes a lot of sense that it needs to be greased up.

Hopefully I'll get the chance to do it tomorrow, does anyone know if I can take the inner out from the gearbox end, or will I need the dash out again? :axe:

1.6 Laser Restoration

Hi guys, I've got my Capri back on the road! All in all, she's not in too bad condition, but there's quite a few things I'd like to change and make better, so I thought I'd make a new topic to hold all the changes I make, and post anything that might be of use to people in the future. So far, I've h...

Speedo bouncing

Hi all, Thanks to caprigear on the forums here (whom I purchased a headlight from) my Capri is back on the road! It's been about a year since she's been on the tarmac, and I knew I had a dodgy Speedo before, so I bought another 6 dial dash of eBay for £15, and replaced my Speedo with the claimed wor...

Re: WANTED:WORKING FRONT HEADLIGHTS

Hey there!

This is my first post, so first of all, hello everyone!

I'm also looking for a lens for my capri, it seems a stone's has decided to ruin my MOT plans :cry:

Does anyone still have some here? I noticed a few replies so I'm hoping someone still has something!

Thanks!

Simmo
