Not mine, but I'd be interested to know if it's someone on here too; I'm only half a mile or so down the road from Broomhill

Re: I was parked up the other day..

It's great when that happens. Usually on the rare occasions I've spotted one, it's a case of "Shit! Is that another...? Ah, bollocks" as another capri disappears in your mirrors before you get a chance to wave. A bit ago I saw a red 2 litre a few cars in front of me as I was driving to wor...

Re: Alternator

I had the same thing on mine a few years ago. Whilst it was quite funny seeing the wipers going extra quick, it blew my battery up and covered the engine bay in battery acid, which wasn't funny. "Luckily" I was in the car when it happened so I escaped injury. Unfortunately can't remember o...

Re: New Forum Software

Will the original home page stuff re-appear in some form with the technical write ups etc that the original forum owner Mark Swetnam wrote? They were really handy to have for doing certain jobs rather than having to search through loads of threads. I think that they may all be on the capriwiki, so m...

Re: Ooooo he's really devalued that Capri..

This reminds me of an occasion a couple of years ago. Me and the missus had gone to Chatsworth House and afterwards, to the farm shop (pork pies there are very tasty, if you're ever in that neck of the woods, get one!). As we left the shop and were almost back at the capri (which is somewhat of a pa...

Capri spotted in Sheffield

Whilst walking home from work yesterday, saw a capri driving down Ecclesall Road around 5:40 ish. It was gold with black bonnet and tailgate, B reg I think. I was on the other side of the road with cars and railings in the way so didn't get a decent look. Anyone on here? It was a shame I wasn't on t...

Re: Steering issues

Yeah, there's definitely a lot more play than there was. The poly bushes fit ok, the only thing I can think of is that when everything was tightened back up, it was all done with the wheels off the ground. It had been a long tiresome day and we just completely forgot about the correct way of torquei...

Re: Steering issues

The steering rack was replaced almost exactly 2 years ago, probably only done about 8 thousand miles on it since then. Could it wear out that quickly? Is there any visible way to tell, or is it a case of fitting a new one and seeing the difference that way? I only replaced the tcas as one end was an...

Steering issues

Hi everyone, A few weeks ago I fitted new track control arms, with new poly bushes on both these and the anti roll bar. Since doing this I've not done much driving, but when I have, there seems to be a fair bit of play in the steering and it doesn't feel anything like as good as it was before. Think...
