Are there any places i could get rear and front seats re trimmed from a 280 ? and an idea of cost would be helpfull cheers

can anyone recognise this capri , from the Vin plate it appears a bit of a bitsa , 3.0 litre ghia turned into an injection ? https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/auctions/1981-ford-capri-28i-ghia-MgDm9n https://assets.carandclassic.co.uk/listing-assets/ford/capri-28i-ghia/1981-ford-capri-28i-ghia-MgDm9n/...

great thread , im about to have a look at mine my front and read indicators light up but don't flash , horn doesn't work and I've now lost full beam , only dipped beam .

guessing by the thread the flasher relay is the cause , power must be getting to them for them to illuminate

Quick one before i search for my haynes manual , Just fired the car up and rear brake lights stay on even with key removed and indicators dont flash is this a grounding issue many thanks

to give you an idea heres my mk2 fitted with a mk3 tailgate



ive got to repair the nearside section as it has a slight dent

its a pusher so it wall also cool the engine bay as well



also uprated the battery

fantastic thanks for all your advice , i;m going to order an in line fuse and then i;ll make the connection to the battery , kit looks very good ive installed the fan its a 14" and fits perfectly to the rad

my query is the 12v supply , without a manual which would be the ignition source on a mark 2 capri

many thanks
