Re: Coolant boils, there is an exhaust smell in the interior

Re: Temp and fuel gauge annoyance

I would be lookin at the reg . I think they are supposed to regulate instrument voltage to a bit over 5v. Dunno if you can still get them new but a 5v dc reg is not that hard to come by . :)

Re: Chassis plate help!

I recently had a day dream where I was short of fuel, so tethered the Capri to an orbital satellite, then sat stationary on the planet surface as the earth revolved underneath me, creating the illusion of movement and saving petrol.

Re: Chassis plate help!

Dodgy. Best way if you have to is to cut the steel plate surrounding the number you want out of the donor and weld it in to the recipient . Take as much metal as you can so the weld isn't close to the number ( they ain't stupid ) Honestly , I would do it legit ,might cost more and be more arsing abo...

Re: Loom connector

Is there power there? , switched by ign SW ?
It might not go anywhere , sometimes looms are made to fit several model variants .
Maybe ashtray or ciggy lighter /ciggy lighter lumination ,or even to light up shifter on automatic option.
