Re: New Cars!!
I don't enjoy the clio too much now, radio and a blower fan is the only thing hit has over the capri at the minute and I'll get them sorted.

Re: Road Tax
I think all 2.0 capri's are the same and the 1.6 as well. Think the cheaper tax on a car our age would be on 1.5L or less as my mates mk2 escort with the 1.3 was cheaper than my 2.0 but my 1.6 was the same price as my 2.0. I once did some work ona 54 plate 1.4 polo and it was £155 a year compared t...

Re: Horrible Squealing noise
Seems I was just worrying too much, tensioned the belt a tad and sprayed some belt dressing on and its all good again. Fitted my new door window seals today after they finally arrived, looks alot nicer than all the cracked rubber. New washer pump and weber carb coming sometime this week too.

Re: adam
Was there ever a more crappy, pretentious, ad for any car, ever? It`s worse than the pseudo arty b&w aftershave ads - `I`m an individual, I stand alone, I bow to no-one: a free man - I use piss de chat`. They really think they`ve got their demographic & by Christ they`re going for it. What ...

Re: Horrible Squealing noise
Thanks for the advice lads, fired it up today and no noises when I pulled off or for the rest of a quick drive. Hopefully it was just some moisture making the belt slip but it still seemed to happen in a strange way.

Horrible Squealing noise
It sounds similar to a slipping fan belt but it seems to behave really strangely, when I pull off lately it squeels pretty badly, changing gear doesnt seem to help but putting it in neutral and pressing the clutch a few times while movin seems to stop it. Once it's stopped the car is fine until you ...

Re: My 2.8 Capri Special
Be warned, 9j wheels look awesome and yes they fit but do require the arches to be cut or rolled, sadly my paint cracked on every arch and now looks quite unsightly :cry: Good excuse for some Zakspeed arches :burnout: :burnout: :burnout: :burnout: Yeah I think I'm going for 7 wide, don't fancy muck...

Re: is my capri mad now ?
