Re: Non starting fuel issue

In fact, that is just as quick as my idea for checking the pump. So take it off and look for the actuating rod. If it is there, then try pushing the pump in and out. You should be able to hear/feel air being pumped through it if it's working properly. + 1 for taking the pump off to check the actuat...

Re: Non starting fuel issue

Maybe worth confirming that you have the flow and return fuel lines around the correct way, if the flow is on the return it won’t drag up any fuel just air yes fuel lines on correct way. Is the drive piston from the block to the fuel pump still in place? I believe they can fall out when the pump is...

Re: Brake warning light on

Hand brack light switch As the original poster has identified the feed to his oil gauge is spraying oil over the inside of the instrument cluster I'd guess that was probably the cuprit. It could be a coincidence but I'd say it probably unlikely the handbrake switch could have caused the later issue...

Re: Alloy Wheel sealant.

:agree: the number plates do suit the car I have some for my Capri but probably only use for the shows as if you get pulled over by the police it's a £1000 fine, but would the police know any different?

Re: Brake warning light on

Thanks paul and Andrew for your input I will check the connections at the back of the dash. I was thinking last night and today when I pulled the capri out the garage yesterday the garage floor was very damp the roof not leaking but there's water getting in somewhere so that probably not helping thi...

Fitting door mouldings.

Hi all been trying to put door mouldings back on my capri this afternoon with not much success, either clips break or the moulding doesn't clip on without the clip coming away from the car. Has anyone else had a problem or am I the only one?

Re: Which coil should I buy?

Swap the coil, for the sierra one. It's highly unlikely you can hurt the sierra coil by running it in the Capri and you only need to see if it starts the engine. Hi dan,I agree with above post try the coil off your sierra. Myself I think it most likely is the electronic set up you have on the car, ...

Door plastic clips

Hi I'am after the plastic door clips which hold the rubber moulding pieces on the passenger and driver's doors. I know you can get them from the capri club but didn't really want to pay £4 for each clip, if anyone knows of any were else it would be great,thanks.
