The Ford Capri Laser Page

I have thought about these but I figured they would be a job for an auto upholstery guy to do,and when I asked him it turned out to be cheaper to get him to make the thing as well,then I got a mint dash on eBay so never bothered. I guess getting the old cracked dash smoothed off so said cracks didn'...

I have the Haynes manual but the wiring for the wipers and washer pump are different to what's actually in the car and I have not been able to find correct diagram ( haven't looked to hard ). Some of the wiring defies logic and common sense

I have found that araldite ,being epoxy is sometimes a bit reluctant to stick to some plastics and a polyester glue (fibreglass resin ) often works better. I just make little dams our of plaster scene or bluetac and pour it in and pack in a bit of the glass strands from the bottom of the bag .....wa...

And a bigger hat if all the compliments keep rolling in

I have (had) a stock 2l and when doing the motor up I fitted a stock ford cam (got it cheap ) and I set the timing so the intake lobe center angle was 108 Deg atdc. Real good low mid range power , tows a trailer easily ,gets 40mpg,still does the ton ,only downside is that if runs out of puff at abou...

I been looking at lsd's from Burton's and Rally design ,they seem to have got cheaper ,think I'll go for the torsen type ,..........but do I get the stronger 2 piece axles too .Mmmmm sounds like a decision for the Mrs :sarcasmalert: actually the best time to bring the Mrs in on decisions like this i...

Mad Max ? Nah , that's Australian.....I'm Kiwi ...we bowl over arm...... and leave the sheep alone. :lol: Probly the only visible mods to my Capri will be (in order of importance ),get rid of the tartan upholstery ,lowered 2" , 15 X 7 superlites , and 4 pot Willwoods on 285mm vented discs....an...

Hi ,I'm Mr negative :wave: ,that is a lot of body / panel work ,specially for a 1st timer (Tim & Fuzz would be lacing up their runners ) but then again I have been stunned by the tenacity of some young un's. Apart from the work ahead and the parts needed you are also going to need a bit of kit a...

Yeah , if you also have the correct bell housing , either integral or seperate depending on which version of "e" box you have ,there is a and b versions one has an integral bell housing, and the other is separate, and you would need to get the clutch plate with the correct splines for the ...

Well yeah ,depends on your skill level as to weather you think it quick and easy or not. I think it should be a doddle, but you would have to get well under the car so there's jack's and blocks involved , and basically adjust the linkage......thing is , you shouldn't have to do it and I think it's a...

Ah , I did wonder about that, good that you have it sussed

Nah , sounds like someone either didn't adjust the shifter linkage correctly , or did but didn't do up the locknut. Was it like this when you 1st picked up the car after repair or did it show up some time later ? Either way you should take it back to the repairer asap, probly no biggie but it needs ...

The "wire" resistor is a fixed resistance . On my crapi the Res wire comes from the ignition switch to the coil ,it's not the whole length just a section in the middle of a normal copper wire ,the 12v from the starter joins this Res wire inside the harness by the left inner guard , and goe...

There are a few clips on flea bay "Ford Capri battery cable clips"

Ah ,no , they ain't replacing them, apparently this is acceptable ,and if the only issue is a bit of nut damage,assuming they actually work properly , I couldn't be arsed sending them back. The apex's of the nuts are machined off a bit so they can fit under the retainer and the damage is minimal , j...

Got a volt meter? Check it out and see what it's actually doing. Normally the low voltage feed from the ignition switch would be a length of resistance wire rather than an actual ballast resistor , makes me think some one has had a fiddle. Is the ballast right at the coil, if not it may be that the ...

Thanks Nick Just to follow up, I wrote again grizzly email to Burton's (Keith Turner ) with a few pix ,he forwarded it to the Gaz people who said that ( da da da De da )they appear to have been damaged upon assembly (ooooh,hand assembled...I thought I could smell quality :wank: :xd: )and as for the ...

The springs should have a piece of plastic tubing on the ends where they rest against the spring seats ( a bit of 1/2" garden hose will do ) , if they are missing any movement here at full lock will make a good dong as the spring resonates. When you think about the set up ,both springs wound th...
