The Ford Capri Laser Page

When it conks out it might be worth removing the fuel pump and checking that the push rod that operates the pump still moves freely and isn't binding

As Nick may remember I have a friend from air show circles who lives in Edmonton, Canada. He stopped over in the summer for a couple of days for Flying Legends. I posted some pictures on my website a few days ago of an aircraft museum visit north of Seattle and my friend happened to check the site a...

<r>As said above, a nice looking car <E>:)</E> <br/> <br/> On starting Andrew has posted a good guide but I would start with the warm up regulator. If you are lucky there will just be a build up of crud in the gauze filter under the larger banjo connection. More fuel should flow through here when th...

Thanks. I have a 32/36 already on the 1600 so aside from changing 1 jet it's a straight swap. Do I actually need to change the servo, or will the current one be ok? Carry on as is. I had a 1600 set up on my for years as that started life as a 2.0. You might want to upgrade in the future as more pow...

You seem to have most of it covered. The brakes can be left as they are, it's the servo that is different. I forget what carb you have but you want a 32/36 weber on a 2.0. If that's not what you have then you need an inlet manifold as well.

Great idea. However, the difficulty with organising this sort of meet is that the forum members are spread all around the country and they all have work/family commitments. Trying to find a date when everyone is available combined with a location that is acceptable for everybody will be nigh on imp...

Maybe there should be two of these, a North and South, a bit like Carfest

Go for it. There can be as many as people want to organise

- and look - an apostrophe in the plural form of a noun!!! I`m... speechless. :D As a chap who will perhaps 'appreciate' this one I've just been reading a letter to a client from Head of Operations at Teachers' Pensions that twice says: "If you've got any queries" Clearly a grasp of grammar was not...

Some years ago we did a couple of forum meets nearish to Christmas but then knocked it on the head due to lack of interest. Following Brooklands there seems to be a few people saying we need to meet up somewhere as we didn't get enough time to have a chat on the day. This has made me wonder if there...

I was hoping mick would do them for me :lol: who I think is still looking for a Capri ... Yes he is. The one that he knows about is missing a few bits and he kept reeling off items that he might need. Have you got a bumper .... yes Have you got a grill ....yes Windscreen .... yes Mirrors .... yes H...

Excellent pictures Peter, especially like the one taken from the banking of the sea of Capris. Good to meet you, really enjoyed the day. Had a look at the planes myself, especially liked Concorde & the Harrier. Great day, thanks for the pictures. Thanks Rob. Yes it was nice to meet you and others t...

Thanks for uploading your great pics Peter. Good to see you again (albeit briefly) and with 2 Capri's; thanks again for the brake parts offer at Dunton. I wasn't willing to chance it driving up with them as they were though. :o Yes Nige, almost a brief hello. Dunton turned in to a bit more of a soc...

Hi Peter, Although I didn't see much of you at Brooklands it was nice to catch up again. I really enjoyed looking through your photos and what a reminder of such a brilliant day! There were so many cars of such an incredible standard, and there was also a great variety (relatively speaking) too. Yo...

So yours was the 'other' silver one? I mentioned to my mate Mick how clean and original it looked on the day. Really nice Capri

so I have gone with pink

Bad planning Jason. A bit of forethought and you could have done the fog lights the same colour

Glad to hear you are OK Paul. The first I knew about you being there was that you had gone home unwell. Would have been nice to catch up but will have to be another time. Take care.

Hopefully the picture works okay. But it's the bottom part of this picture. This should be at the bottom of the cylinder

Can you pm me an address

I didn't take as many pictures as last weekend and there is a rumour that someone has way more snaps then me but here are some that I did take - aircraft pictures restricted to my own website! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48708370696_d3af9f2c5d_k.jpg DSCN1826 by Peter Smith , on Flickr https:...

Just had to check if had a 2.8 servo and I do. There's plenty on eBay but some cost a fortune which I'm sure they don't need to be. Just wondering if someone had any spare parts. Weber's need setting up end of next week so hopefully someone might have the bits I need in time. Thanks everyone for yo...

Some years ago, when we used to get a few more people to do our camping weekend we used to do a few trophies. One was called 'spirit of the Laser Page'. I think Jason would lay claims to keep it. Nice one mate, I must say I was impressed. Obviously the flypast was better but Nick deserved the runner...
