Re: offered cash
yes im thinking about taking it up to my mums but the only trouble is it would be left outside on a drive in all weathers , and if they did decide to come back the car would be safe . it seems that everyone is saying move the car but i can do that but for how long can you do it for.

Re: 3.0 capri revs
yes i was mate you wouldnt think a blocked pipe would cause the revs to go up and down in drive only, must be that the carb and engine needs a good supply of air to breath better on a auto under load in gear when the revs drop down in drive with the brakes on . i dont now what the vaccum moter on th...

3.0 capri electric fuel pump
can you fit a electric fuel pump on a 3.0 capri as i dont use mine very much and it is hard to start after around 5 days due to the petrol eveporating in the carb and i was only going to use it for starting up purposes to make it easier to start and then turn it off, and would the mechanical pump on...

Re: Can I fit a 1.6 fuel tank to a 2.0?
hi, there should be 2 thin metal pipes coming out the top of the tank one in each corner where a piece of rubber pipe connects from one end to the other end , as i remember i think its around 6mm wide . This is to let the air circulate around the top of the tank. make sure you have this pipe connect...

Re: pet 437x
The most puzzling check on this car, is it shows it last ran out of tax on 1/10/1999 and it doesnt come up as sorn just unlicenced and doesnt show its scrapped , and the other strange thing about it is if you look at the previous keeper details it shows most recent keeper change 21/03/2000 and then ...
