The Ford Capri Laser Page

So long 'Phil the Greek'. We won't see his like again.
Time for Anne to step up and take on the mantle methinks. She learned well from her father.

Surely if it's a steak, you'd hit the fence?

Phew! When I read the title I thought you'd suffered some weird kind of molestation.

Ha! While on holiday my better half grew partial to a cocktail called a Pink Pussy.
Once home she decided to google to see how to make it herself....................................

Never has a phone case snapped shut so quickly!

NGK AP6fs

I may be wrong, but aren't those the tapered seat ones for a Pinto?
The 2.8i has flat seats and a sealing washer.
I'd also recommend getting ones with a resistor if you still want to listen to your old FM radio.

NGK would be my recommendation - BCPR6ES I think.

Before you get too deep into it, are you sure it's a mechanical clunk, and not a knock being generated by driveline shunt due to the engine faltering? I had something similar years back - turned out to be the coil breaking down. But if it is something like that, how come he's only getting it in low...

Before you get too deep into it, are you sure it's a mechanical clunk, and not a knock being generated by driveline shunt due to the engine faltering? It is quite easy to think it's a mechanical problem when in fact that is just a symptom. The 2.8i is very susceptible to weak mixture, which can give...

I've spoken to them on many occasions and this week in fact. Don't think they are the cheapest around, but with service like that maybe worth paying a little extra :cool: Agreed they're not the cheapest. But I tend to keep an eye on their flash sales and buy in bulk then. I like the fact they are a...

Hi all, not sure if anyone uses this company, but I can strongly recommend them. Really know their stuff and always happy to advise on oils, filters etc. I've been using them for my Z4s and their service is excellent. For example, they mistakenly sent me 2x 5 litre bottles of oil when I'd ordered 3...

Forget drums buy disk kit. And then go and ask all the Tickford owners why they get so fed up un-seizing the rear brakes. Even when the cars were pushed hard the rear discs were hardly noticeable in their effects. Absolutely no need for rear discs on a stock 4-cylinder Capri. In fact, I wouldn't ev...

Why (oh why ) does it have mirrors waaaaaaaaay up the front of the guard ? I thought only the Japanese committed that sort of styling blunder a couple of decades ago

That's your trouble mate!
You're just sooooo 1980s.

Yes and when my auntie grew testicles she became my uncle.

Trust you to talk bollox

I think some had an easily removable diode pack with the brushes fitted in. The Bosch is most common and very easy to swap. It`s actually the regulator and brushes, the diode pack is internal - but as you say it IS easily removed, you can even do it in situ. Ah ok, that's cleared that up. Electrick...

I assume you gave the nearside cluster a good check over and clean at the same time? I wont lie, I did check the cluster on the near side for cracking but neglected to clean up the connections :roll: Just took her out about 5 minutes ago and it would seem that heater blower has quite an effect on t...

It is perfectly acceptable to use standard Capri struts. You will need to swap over all the braking bits etc, but you can fit them with uprated cartridge type dampers and they'll easily cope, plus probably be a lot cheaper. I fitted Gaz dampers on one, set to their softest setting they were fine. Yo...
