The Ford Capri Laser Page

About a hundred quid premium over normal price for a pair of multileafs with the Capri club or equivalent suppliers, but
A) They look really really nice
B) They are available to buy right now
C) No one else like the club or Tickover seem to have any in stock.

If it was me I'd buy em.

Really nice to have something like that which someone experienced first hand and recorded. Makes it more relevant than a history book somehow.

Gap is supposed to be 0.025 inches, or 0.6mm so about thumbnails thickness.

0.25" is a lot. Have you missed out a zero?

One went for £2500 last year if ebay is to be believed, so that looks like a good price.
Its certainly better value than the headlight surrounds you found from the same seller.

Unbelievable. I've never seen one with rust round the tailgate hinges, crikey how do they rust there? Like the description of the sunroof rust blisters as an "easy" fix, christ talk about selling it up for the auction. If all this shit was easy it would have been done before going in the s...

Ah. Now I genuinely don't know what to do.

I will need an outdoor cover for my car soon, and was wondering the same as OP. I took some advice from a neighbour of mine who has an old Maserati Quattroporte. He's had it for over 15 year and it lives on his front drive under a Hamilton Classic breathable fleece lined cover. He has a regime of un...

They were both BARN FINDS! boom boom!

Was one of the Santa's Henry Ford on a peace visit?

LOL no pressure just a lot of people bored out of our skulls working at home I suppose (well me anyway) and I've not had time to do buggar all to mine for a couple of weeks so totally living through other people here (i.e. you).

We're all just filling time cos we are gagging to find out if he's got it working!

Surely by crash you really mean fender bender?

You mean you are looking forward to a double spread fold out pull out pull off OHC special?

The lead in the loom sets off from one of the external spade connectors on the fuse box. Does it - ah so not the multiplugs like I said, that makes it easier, but I'd clean anything connector like. Isn't there connections under the fusebox too? Might be worth attending to them, but as they are insi...

Anyone got their copy of Secret Ford vol 2 yet?
It looks good from the first few pages, and looking forward to learning about how the frog-faced Scorpio debacle came about.
Theres a good poster too with lots of wheels on it, the geekery is absolutely off the scale!

The two stalks with push buttons in them (horn one side, washer the other) have a little wire that comes out at the base carrying the push button circuit into the big connector. The indicator/horn ones are prone to fatigue and broken wires due to that stalk being moved a lot on each journey. The was...

Happy Birthday - did you get them slippers for your birthday too?

Glad you finally got it stuck in.
I thought of this thread at the weekend when the kids had found a Wheeler Dealers Capri clip on youtube. Edd China does the TCA bushes on that, and of course makes it look very easy.

Also try parts sources for other cars that used the Essex.
Such as TVR 3000M, Reliant Scimitar, Granada etc

I bought an identical panel for mine, probably about the same time the seller got that. Ford dealers still listed them. Even as a genuine new panel it cost less than 10% of the price being asked on that listing. To me it is entirely acceptable to profit on rare old stuff you bother to keep, especial...
