My premium for 2 cars (sierra and capri) is £123 but total price they want is £264. The difference of £140 being for legal protection, agreed valuation and £70 arr...

Re: refurb steering rack bad experience

good to have this one saved as a favorite as you never know what you will end up with, also CCI not sure if they will be getting any for a while so definitely good to have another supplier who comes recommended. I also know Burton power do them but they only can take your rack and send it off for re...

refurb steering rack bad experience

Just wanted to share my experience of swapping out the steering rack on my 2.0 laser (none PAS). Got the refurb rack from CCI as I had heard of some cowboy outfits who tend to just give the racks a lick of paint, change the boots and thats it so went to CCI as thought they would have reputable compa...

Valvoline VR1 is the dogs bollocks

I have just done oil change on my laser, put Valvoline VR1 in and what a difference it has made to the oil pressure, getting an increase of 2 graduations on the gauge so now at 3/4 way up the gauge. Love this stuff, used it on my previous Capri and in my XR4, both run really well with it.

Re: fuse box query

Update on getting this resolved, trying to get the connectors on from underneath the dash is a pain and difficult to get them fully engaged so took the fuse box off, just the 2 screws so easy to do and then the connectors can be pulled up through the hole in the inner wing so you can get them fully ...

Re: fuse box query

Thanks MC, I'm having the problem with the connectors underneath, if they slightly move or you give them a little wobble, connections are lost, cant see any mechanical fixing or clips to keep the connectors on so I assume its just the fit between the pins and the mating sockets that holds the connec...

fuse box query

The 2 square multi connectors on the underside of the fusebox seem to be a loose fit as any slight movement and power is lost, but I cant see anything apart from the pin/socket interference keeping the connectors in place. Thinking of taking the fuse box out so i can see how good the fit of the pins...

Thanks Andrew, I thought you would have the answer, just been and got a pair from halfords. They also have the tiny bulbs for the heater control light in 1.2W and 2.3W versions, any idea which one.

Re: radio speaker fader knob

Just shows what a great network we have on this forum, received the fader knob for my laser from Peter-S this morning, no money wanted so I am in debt to tune of a good bacon butty. Thanks Peter, much appreciated.
