The Ford Capri Laser Page

Cheers for the link to youtube :cool: , There was an episode of the profs that featured a sprint driven by Doyle , I cant remember what episode it was though. I like the back end of the Toledo more than the Dolly, just looks better. They are nice driving easy to work on cars. My sprint will be finis...

Hi there, Your car looks good. I like the pic of the Capri with the diner in the background.
Can you tell me where that diner is? I am needing a backdrop just like that for some pics of my Dolomite.
You can PM if you want.
Cheers Rob

Shame about the bonnet pins !!!

Hi, Can you PM me your location and how much you want etc
Cheers Rob

If it still has the fault, as soon as it stops running have a look inside the carb, take the top off. bit fidly at the road side. If the level is very low or even empty then thats your problem, My 2.0 did the same, the carb was empty and not filling fast enough. It was the small filter inside the ca...

I dont think they are that good, my mate had one on his mk 1 escort van and it still got borrowed without permision!!! The copper doing the "investigation " said they are no good as the theiving buggers know how to remove them in seconds !!, big waste of money if you ask me .

I got a scorpion alarm off ebay, new inc alarm, immobiliser, two central locking motors, bonnet protection etc. Very good price and its a good alarm with lots of features, and combines remote central locking to !! Easy to fit, took me about 1.5 hours to fit the whole lot. Good carb for performance a...

Thanks to all for the advice etc. I have checked the db level with a mates i phone thing; @ 4thou it was 147 db from 12 feet away at rear of car @ 5thou it was 142 db as above, why it is louder at lower revs is unknown. Maybe the db meter isnt that good as we took alot of readings and the results wh...

Hi all, Was out for a drive today on a few B roads having a good time in the capri, I noticed a cop car at a junction waiting to come out on to the road I was on,I went passed them and they pulled out behind me, they followed me for about half a mile probably doing the usual checks etc then the blue...

Would have to be the brown austin maestro!! What a pile of junk that was, used to eat clutch cables, steering wheel snapped off while doing a bit of beach driving, wrote it off doing 15 mph into a hedge. Worst thing was, I part exchanged a mk2 escort to buy the thing!! dont know what I was smoking b...

I go to Blackpool a fair bit in my resto, 2.1 S just resprayed signal orange with black roof, usualy travel through Preston visiting relatives etc.
Check out The Costal Capri club,nice bunch of people and not to far from you.

Leo Fender would not be pleased

You have some "interesting vids" on there!!, Its a BREAST FEST!!!!!!!!!

Mixture screw is on the left side when you are looking at the carb from the front,it will be a brass coloured slotted head screw about half way up carb ish, stick an eyeball on that side and you should see it, use a tourch (battery powered) to see properly

That is your idle screw by the looks of it, Turn it clockwise to increase etc, Your mixture screw should be on the other side, not where you have arrowed, there is a few of those empty tube looking things here and there.
Hope this is a help

We have all had to learn the basics at some point, I caught the posh bird who lives next door to me trying to put oil in the engine via the dipstick tube!! I watched for over 5 mins and then had to offer help, there was oil all over the place, at least she was having a go!!!Old fords are a great way...

Hi, 2.0 pinto has the green pvs valve attached to the underside of the inlet manifold, nothing is connected to this,I think there should be 2 pipes. My question(s) is; Can the pvs be removed and plugged? What will the pvs be doing if no pipes are attached (ie) will my engine run different without it...
