Re: 2.8 i timing

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

Have a look at the spark plugs , one may be cleaner than the others , this would indicate coolant getting into the combustion chamber ,but this doesnt always happen ( piston tops clean up too ......if you can see them )

Re: respray
Maybe I get lucky with garages.. I'm usually allowed to borrow tools and make tea, use the air lines and jacks and even air tools! Last time this happened I had my fuel hose split, reconnected it, limped to the closest garage, the guy pointed at the spare hoses hanging up, pointed at the tools and ...

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. Well apart from the satellite it aint so far amiss . Things having...

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: Cluster regulator

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.
