The Ford Capri Laser Page

Very nice Nick. Recognise one or two cars from recent shows but looks like you got some new stuff too. I did think of you Sunday morning when it started to rain but then it was always going to wasn't it :lol: We were over in Dover most of the day and it was really nice. Glad you seem to have ended u...

You had me at 'hello'

Yep, the usual great weekend and nice to see a couple of returners.
Let's do it again next year

Looking great, Peter.
Don't you usually take the Laser?

Andrew.

I was going to say only if I want to break down in the tunnel but I didn't like to tempt fate! I've taken the laser many times including last year when the 2.8 was misbehaving but currently it's undergoing a little tlc

I know a lot of people here are also into planes. I just wonder how many of you, like me, were completely unaware of the crucial role air power had played in the American War of Independence ? https://www.aol.co.uk/news/2019/07/05/trump-dive-bombed-in-tweets-after-claiming-army-seized-revolutio/?nc...

Cheers guys! Is there anyway to test the fuel pump? i'm wondering if this is going bad and not feeding petrol up to the carb? i guess adding this will test that but it does like to cut out randomly at times. If you disconnect the fuel pipe from the carb and pop the end in to a jar and then crank th...

:Ps hope you had a good weekend

Yep, we had a blast

So headed off to our annual knees up on Friday and stopped at IWM Duxford on the way and then headed off to the old airfield at Kings Cliffe. Here are the all important pictures of each stop :D https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48223502442_0ebb642d5e_k.jpg DSCF6201 by Peter Smith , on Flickr https...

Thanks guys. Not only did you organise that Spitfire flypast at Deal a few weeks ago I was taken aback today when it became clear you'd done it again for CRaP weekend. What can I say!

After hours

Nice one Peter. Lovely picture of your injection mate. Looks very splendid indeed sir. I am jealous that you can keep yours up.!! Your tailgate I mean of course. :lol: As already said Peter I hope you all have a great weekend at CRaP mate. It's a shame you're unhinged Nick otherwise you might be ab...

As said the inlet is below the tag and this is the pipe that should have the filter in. The thing that it connects to below the distributor will be the fuel pump.

The pipe you mention is probably a return to the fuel tank.

Give them a good pull!

Hope I didn't miss/forget anything! Hopefully see some of you tomorrow

Can I post a picture of my mother in law ?


Please

I haven't got over the one of her 'off to the watering hole' yet!

Not long now, going beer shopping later! :beer: Anyone have an ETA? I've got the day off on Friday to come down but want to make sure I don't get there (and wasted) too early! :beer: :beer: :beer: I'm usually there around 4, Dave generally gets there before me. Do tell the chap in the pub that you ...

I hope you all have a great weekend!

We will

It probably is a good idea to change the fuel pipe. I believe you will need to look for R9 rated pipe, it tolerates new increased ethanol levels in fuel.

I don't think Haynes or Beaulieu have anything to worry about

Hope HM the Q isn't reading this Andy.
On reflection probably not that likely

New head gasket & stem seals fitted, pulled the stat out too. Small split in the boost pipe though so needs some tlc.

Last minute again then Nige

Yesterday a little after 3.30 heading north on the A9 around the river Spey bridge, aMKI face-lift in blue probably with a vinyl roof. Anyone here?
