The Ford Capri Laser Page

I used to get marched up the stairs by mum then put over her bed and I got 3 of the best from her slipper. Dad once took his belt off to me when I had been particularly naughty. I still loved and respected both of them until their dying days and I thank them for giving me a wonderful childhood and t...

I remember that for MGBs, Mercs and several other vehicles you used to be able to get a stick on walnut veneer or carbon fibre look dash vinyl but cant seem to find anyone who does one for a Capri. I also have a good dash with its clips etc still intact and would love to get something to do the same...

Mine;s still bug-gering about just like Andy's was despite me upgrading to windows 3.1.1

I'm having the exact same problem - litle circles everywhere!

Happy Birthday Dan, have a good one.

I remember it well

9 years on many have come and gone but still a great forum!

I ve just checked and I've been on here for over 8 years. Where does the time go? Mind you Andy you're on 8000 posts and I'm somewhat lagging on 1800!

If it's standard solid black then regular two pack is usually good enough. As for getting a repaint at a cheap price I would invest in a compressor, spraygun and good mask if I were you. I see you own a Robin Hood. I built one myself about 20 years ago but had to sell it in 2019 as i got too fat to ...

If these cretins do work out what there genitals are for and have children, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxqvwkmTNy8

It seems a large percentage of them use their genitals to bugger each other if you go by the amount of deviance on the telly.

What is the most worrying thing Andrew is that these cretins have the vote and are able to breed. I'm glad I'm old and decrepit.

I can answer this on Danny's behalf - yes it is a seat mounting area. Common Ford problem.

It doesn't look too bad for a car that is used daily, it's done quite well. All the ferret oxide on it is quite fixable. It's about on a par with how my Laser was, maybe a bit worse in places.

I swear I've still got one of those somewhere. I can't remember the name of it. Probably in one of the boxes of crap that I will have to get rid of to move to a smaller house.

rattles from the bellhousing/clutch area are often the flywheel bolts coming loose. Worrying! How does that come about, poor rebuilds? Hopefully not from Cologne? No, as far as I understand they just vibrate loose after several years of use.. Usually a drop of loctite and re torquing does the job, ...

Hi guys, thought I would update you all. Had someone else look at the car and they said take the starter off and take another look. It would appear that the bendix doesn't return when it is pulled out and it's loose on the shaft which I suspect is causing the rattling. Could this be caused by a fai...

I just don't understand what possesses people to do that. They must be deranged.

Car probably started life as a funeral car. It needs its own funeral now.

When i was a kid that was the only type of mower mum had. Qualcast I think. When we moved to the bigger house they bought a Wolf electric rotary mower which we had for years until I bought a petrol self drive one.

Nah , scot two legs ,just saw me and .....smart arse😁 Seriously , they often do this and if you force them to move they lower the rest of their undercarriage, but , you do see the odd one with half a leg . I spose fish bite them off , they will go for red lures or soft baits at the surface so they ...

I just hope for the sake of London's motorists that at the next Mayoral elections some other party commits to getting rid of this pernicious tax and that a majority of people in the leftly liberal pinko capital have the common savvy to vote for said other party. Hit these bastard wayward politicians...

It's already detached from it. Certainly the media type Londoners think the world ends at Hampstead or Wimbledon.

I remember the first time I drove a MK3. I was used to Cortinas and MK1 Cavaliers but I drove this fairly new 1.6GL and couldn't believe how much more powerful it seemed compared to the others.
