The Ford Capri Laser Page

First test earlier was to swap the spark plugs over, still did the exact same thing so can rule that out
Will try swapping the leads tomorrow, but think I already know the issue is the tappets

Could be a knackered torque converter, I have seen C3 converters drag an engine down when they are past there best. How many miles on it? 89k miles Had a 'new' torque converter fitted about 6ish years ago, if it's fucked then no idea what to do as no one makes them anymore!! No they are not made ne...

The only reason I ever run is away from things

This one is the auto

Afternoon all! Tried to take the GL out the other day only for it to decide to run on three cylinders - I figured it was the cold as the inside of the screen was also frosted up! Anyway, went back to it today and seems to have largely fixed itself, adjusted the points as they had closed up a bit and...

I enjoyed reading your gig going exploits there Nick and can certainly relate to it, and your passion for music. I've been to many Metal gigs and there's nothing like the feeling of coming away knowing you've been to a gig, carrying the battle scars (and affected hearing!) for days afterwards. I sa...

Happy birthday Nick!
Go on, treat yourself and polish the car again

Not mine but these wiring diagrams are great. Not sure of the chap's name who makes them but full credit to him - godsend for wiring issues. Not sure how the park function works, think it is part of the internal motor system when current is passed through it - it shouldn't just go round and round on...

Saw some Recaro runners on a while back for about £100

Think I paid about half of that about 6/7 years ago

Not sure about seats, depends on condition a lot of the time

Anyone won the lottery recently?

Looking good Tom!
Will definitely be worth it once it's all done

I was using a sticker gum remover the other day, a quite aggressive solvent, and it started taking off the matt paint that was on there since before I bought the car. So I kept rubbing and underneath was this lovely deep lustrous original rosso red. So well preserved you wouldn't believe. I'll take...
