Re: How to fit the Motorsport front spoiler
I would but the sound goes through me. At least I'd be able to hear it being nicked though!

Re: Coolant suggestions
Yeah I've been looking into the waterless stuff over the last couple months, I am tempted but I think I might wait till next year to consider it again.
Anyone got any preference on coolant brands or just go for Halfords?

Re: Capri 2.8 spitting coolant
Right I've accidentally ordered the wrong thermostat. I've ordered an 88degrees one instead of an 82 degree one. So I was just wondering if anybody can make use of it you can have it for free. Can't be bothered with the hassle of sending it back so just going to buy a new one.

Re: Capri 2.8 spitting coolant
Thanks guys! Never gone any further to the engine bay so suppose it's something new to learn. Is there anything I need to look out for when I'm taking the belt off? I'm aware that I'll need a special spanner for the fan and that the bolts holding it on are threaded the other way. Is it easy get the ...

Re: Capri 2.8 spitting coolant
Hey guys thought I'd give everyone a bit of an update. So today I've managed to drain the system and get the rad out. Although the coolant was a bit merky when I came to flush the rad out I put the hosepipe in it and it ran clear. So got all this sorted then continued to spent the next 5 hours swear...
