on a motorway run mine does 30mpg driving at 60mph, but that is just all motorways. in round town I'm not sure, sensible driving will bring you down to around 20mpg. power wise I think 150bhp, but with the v6 grunt it is quick enough i think watch out for overheating, the 2.8 is bad for that! the ne...

think it is my imagination, the oil level is fine. should i try a new stat?

thanks peter, no theres no water leaking, she has an oil leak but deffo not water. checked both the rad and expansion tank, they both have the right amount of water, the rad has pleanty of water above the fins. I dipped the oil last week, maybe its just my imagination but it appears to be closer to ...

well, took the 2.8 out last night for a drive, the temperature guage started to rise quite quickly. I know that the guage should sit nicely below half, and it has done up until now, and nothing has been changed. as far as i know she has a 3 core radiator, new water pump and an 81 degree stat. the ca...

look forward to seeing this, sounds like a good experience! what issue will it be in?

martin and mooney, thanks she fired right up, wires on the wrong way round!

right guys, just spent a good part of the night fitting a new reconditioned tank, all wired up, pump working, over half full. everything, as far as we can see - is wired up right. so after putting fuel in, we just tried the ignition, to which she just churned and churned. what do you guys think I sh...

myself, I hide in Portadown, theres a few out my way that I'm aware of, a 280, 2.0s, mk1 1600, and mine is gone to be replaced next spring

where are you from?

was it a bright green capri? 1.6? seen her on ebay if its the same one, was up for alot of money i think, could be a different one though

was down last night as well, why would anyone go to the bother of hacking, so pointless!

i know how you feel, i sold my 2.8 to a boy in londonderry, everyday i think what a fool i am!
but just means i'll have to buy another one

check the capri club website, don't think I've seen her at any shows, check the southern capri site as well, good luck

cheers Stock, they can stay where they are then, thanks!

aw bugger, trying to figure out how to make it viewable

the tyres look big, is there any way of telling before i buy or view?

cheers

well I'm going to sound like an old fart, but the price and mpg of petrol is wild! thinking of changing my 2001 focus 1.4 to a diesel version, 1.8 tddi with about 100k miles, what sort of mpg should i expect? what do you guys get to a full tank? I'm getting at the most 350ish to a full tank, which i...

well men, thanks for the help! after some fiddling, the wipers and lights are good again! no hazards no fogs and no horn still, the alternator is knackered, so maybe thats what is having an effect? she is just running the battery down every couple of weeks!

I'll keep ya's posted

tonight the 2.8 was a bit grumpy within ten minutes the rear fogs quit, both passenger front and rear lights quit, all wipers have stopped, hazards quit, what on earth (no pun intended) has happened?? I'm stumped, she just kept breaking stuff within minutes, i soon turned her off when i copped on, p...

awk to pot with that then

cheers lad!
