Re: My first capri, A-REG 2.0 S restoration

Hi,
Your car looks stunning, it's a credit to you. Personally, I like pepperpots, but you'll probably upset the purists by putting a set on an S! But who cares what the purists say?

Keep up the good work,
Andrew.

Hi,
Looks like a beautiful car from the photos. I hope the seller gave the old boy a fair price for it.

Re: 1981 capri 3.0s 4 speed mot failure for sale

Hi,
Glad you've sold the car. As Andy says, it would be nice if it's gone to a good home as it would make a lovely car for somebody.

All the best,
Andrew.

Re: Finally got my capri 2.8

Hi again,
If the fluid is near the strut, could it be brake fluid leaking? Best to carefully check the brake pipe for leaks. If you didn't already know, PAS fluid is distinctive as it is red.

All the best,
Andrew.

Re: Finally got my capri 2.8

Hi Dave, Really nice 2.8 you have there, nice one! :) If the PAS is leaking fluid, it could be the pipe unions loose. Check those first before splashing out on a new rack. I think leaks are quite common on these systems. If you do need a recon rack, be sure to shop around as prices vary greatly. Goo...

Re: Warm Up Regulator

Hi Peter,
Great write-up explaining the workings of this mysterious part of the injection system. Very brave of you to attempt a refurb, especially as the potential is there for it to go horribly wrong! Great that it's worked out well in the end.

All the best,
Andrew.

Re: Black dash wanted

Hi Les,
Speaking from experience, the CCI dash needs a lot of fettling to make it fit. See my thread in the projects section for my attempt. Mind you, a skilled craftsman such as you, would probably be able to make a better go of it than I am able to.

All the best,
Andrew.

Re: Black dash wanted

Hi Les,
The dashes in black don't seem to fetch silly money like the grey ones. As Nick says, phone around a few places, someone is bound to have one. Bet you can't wait to get rid of the brown dash, especially if it's been cut about.

All the best,
Andrew.

Re: Budget of £2400

Hi,
Yes, nice looking car. What exhausts have you got, Sportex?

I met a chap at the Queen Square meet who also had a car from Steve, seemed happy enough with it. He's also on this forum (can't remember his name though, sorry) and is planning to attend the CCI national next month.

Re: NOS Parcel Shelf

Maybe it's because I know how difficult some parts are to get hold of, but to me it doesn't mean to have to spend mental money on them if they come up.
