Hi All,
The subject says it all really.
Anyone know where I might find a new/replacement or better sealing dipstick for a 2.8i?
An aftermarket double seal one would be perfect...
Thanks
Steve

Re: Anyone got a 2.8i turbo technics?
Thanks for the replies... RE: does your car have this? Yes and the valve seems ok, that said I might replace it just for the hell of it. I'm leaning towards giving it to turbo technics to do a turbo refurb and completely check it out. (ie: just throw money at it). And if that fails then an oil catch...

Anyone got a 2.8i turbo technics?
I've got a 2.8i turbo technics (high output low compression version I believe). NB: I'm not a mechanic by any stretch, I just drive the thing. I have an issue with some oil coming up the dipstick at high revs (just a bit). There is no sign of engine wear, no smoke, stacks of power, runs like a dream...

swapping 2.8i seats
Hi All,
Can anyone tell me if the front seats are interchangeable on a capri 2.8i ?
Or is a passenger seat only a passenger seat...?
Many Thanks
Steve
P.S
Looking for minty front seats..

Sadly I think Mike was put off by the 100 miles distance
(not sure why since I'm paying for shipping..)
Anyhow, I'm still looking for a seat restorer....

Looking for a seat restorer in Northants
Hi All,
Can anyone recommend a seat restorer in Northants?
I've got a couple of 2.8i seats with a fag hole in each
(I have replacement fabric), and the leather could do with a
spruce up, and possibly new base foam.
Cheers
Steve

Re: 2.8i smokey turbo
Right more news on this, car just came off sorn and went down to turbo technics. Saw a very helpful chap called Tim. He suggested a recon turbo might help but then we got it up on the ramps ..and... oil is blowing out of the dipstick (at high revs at least). That's why it had a bung in it then. Time...

Re: 2.8i smokey turbo
Sorry, been offline for a while. To those that asked, Yes I'm near Northampton. I've not been able to get the car out for a while due to some digging of drives going on, but in a couple of weeks she can come out to play - if sorted... I'm sure it didn't smoke before the service and I've noticed the ...

Re: 2.8i smokey turbo
Well there's the thing, I haven't seen any oil coming out of the dipstick area.
What causes blow_by then?

TT are in Northampton, I guess they're best placed to have a looksee.
A million quid an hour no doubt... deep joy.

2.8i smokey turbo
Hi All, Here's a vague question. I have a 2.8i turbo technics which I bought last year and sorned for 6 months. It's just had a service and I took it on a 30 mile spin, the bad news is that it smokes after flooring it and backing off. It's blue-ish rather than white. It doesn't smoke at tickover. Th...

2.8i dipstick length (seriously..)
Hi all,
I'm not convinced I've got the correct dipstick in my 2.8ii,
can anyone tell me what length it should be from lip to tip? (oo err).
Thanks
Steve

seat repairer wanted near northampton
Hi,
Can anyone recommend a seat repairer near Northampton?
I have a 2.8i special with the usual bolster wear and a fag hole in the cloth of each front seat.
(I'd prefer new cloth to a repair, because it never looks right..)
Thanks
Steve

2.8 parcel shelf dumb question!
I bought a repro parcel shelf from the capri club, a fixing kit off ebay and some support strings off ebay. So far so good - except the strings... The shelf strings have a rubber disk at each end, I'm guessing the larger one goes under the shelf, but there doesn't seem to be anywhere for the smaller...
