Re: Wheel bearings

Yeah as the other two have said its not the easiest DIY job. You will probably need a slide hammer to release the half shaft. The old bearing will have to be cut and chiseled off and you will probably need a hydraulic press to push the nes ones down the shaft.

I just punched mine out and used a press to put the races in, took about half an hour to completely do each side.

Re: 17" alloys on a mk1 capri , too much ?

I got 17s on my mark 3 I had 13s but they look too small. I think what you got there looks good. I slammed mine 2" to make the 17s fill the arch nicely.

Re: Anything other than head gasket ??!!

its worth buying one mate, pop down the local factors probably be about £15 do a test and see what comes back. Not sure for the V6 but probably should be about 150psi and equal on all 4 cylinders.
