Re: Ford capri laser 2.0 or capri 2.8i ???

Many years back I fitted an injected Pinto from a Sierra into a 2.0GL, along with the 5-speed box, propshaft, 2.8i front struts, single leaf rear springs etc. Used the tank, pump, accumulator and fuel pipes off a 2.8i. The ECU fitted neatly behind the glove box and was a doddle to hook up as I used...

Re: Ford capri laser 2.0 or capri 2.8i ???

Hi Folks, looking to purchase a capri in the next few weeks, but not sure to go for the same as I owned before 2.0 laser or a 2.8i. I have always fancied owning a 2.8i mostly because they have more power but always ended up getting a laser . The question I have is the 2.8i much more complicated to ...

Re: Ford capri laser 2.0 or capri 2.8i ???

Have the best of both worlds and get a 3 litre Essex engined Capri instead, no injection system to worry about and more torque than the 2.8 Cologne engine as used in the 2.8 injection and the Essex V6 sounds better too! Wayne Yes the V6 Essex does sound fab!! My cousin had a 3.0 S back in the 80s a...

Re: Ford capri laser 2.0 or capri 2.8i ???

Personally I would prefer a Laser, because I like the carb and the engineering which goes with it for cars of that age and pre-injection technology. I did have a drive in a 2.8 many moons ago before I bought my Capri, but opted for a Laser. Looking at issues which some have and, for example, the qu...

Re: Ford capri laser 2.0 or capri 2.8i ???

Hi Alec, Unlike you I have only ever owned a V6 Capri. I'm no mechanic but the 2.8 isn't a complicated engine, although I'm sure others will agree the injection system can sometimes be more awkward than a carb, but nothing that can't be sorted on here or with some info from specialists or on the we...

Re: dent puller ?

Hi Stevie, yes the paint is not damaged as the glue goes solid so when you want to remove the glue you just have to use a sharp objects (supplied) and it just pings off . Those dent pullers are perfect for paint less repairs. Hope this helps ? Cheers Alex

I went onto e bay and ordered one of the kits you mentioned and was so glad I did, the results were amazing I found the kit very easy to u...
