Hi guys! I've had a few recent posts on here thanks so much for he replys! You've all helped loads!

Hi guys! My capri oil pressure pipe snapped on idle and oil has gone absolutely everywhere :axe: I litch cannot for the life of me get the pipe back on the nipple which screws onto the bulk head.

If you get really stuck I have a starter you can have for free.. where about are you in the world? Thanks so much for the hand mate, luckily I've sorted it , turns out it was a bad earth as Arnold and smokeem pointed out (cheers guys!)

Hey guys, checked all connections which seem fine and I've put on a new starter motor and still no luck!! Just the clicking sound from the solonoid still! Can anyone help? Thanks

Disconnect the leads from the back of the starter motor, clean up the contacts and refit. If that doesn't work, your solenoid might be faulty. Just tried it mate and no luck! I did have a spare starter motor but the connections on the solonoid are different! :cry: Looks like new starter for me! Tha...

:banghead: Hi guys, just did a complete overhaul of the capri... respray - engine etc has been running perfect However, the other day I went to start it and it turned over to start, I turned on the ignition again but nothing, just a clicking sound. Got a brand new battery on it which has full charge...

Contacted two places regarding a stainless system..one cant give a quote unless i go all the way to Bromley to let them see the car (which is a very long way away just to "have a look", especially if they turn around and say they want a fortune to make it) and the other said they'd charge...

Hi guys I got given a head and a cam when I baught the capri, The springs says kent cam on them but not sure if the actual cam itself is a kent cam aswel Also I've left it in the garage a bit to long and was wondering if it's only worth scrap now as there's a bit of surface rust on the head and cam ...

Hi guys quick question looking for advice! I have a 2.0 1984 Capri S i love driving it but since ive baught it i always find it hard to get into first gear, it feels like you have to ram it in first for it to stay there! any thoughts what this could be?! And the other day i decided to put my foot do...

I fitted BMW lights, not angel eyes, on my capri and found that the E34 were different. Only the E30 and E32 are compatible with the capr. How are your angel eyes ruined? I haven't seen many sets for sale and none for under £130 a pair. All the best Thanks for the reply mate, I smashed one of the g...

Quick question my E30 angel eyes are ruined on my capri just wondering if the E34 ones fit to my capri aswel or is it just the E30 ones, they look the same but not quite sure if the brackets on them are the same!

Mot garage said it only ...

I know! I bought the rear brakes and cylinders for £80 and paid £190 to fit then, then the garage said they need adjusting and refurbishing again and charged me another £150! Liberty!
