The Ford Capri Laser Page

I think that the standard ones were dark graphite? There are light graphite ones available so you need to be careful when ordering I think. This Capri Club link specifies this for a 1.6, not sure if 2.0 are the same -

I swapped a couple of mine over a little while ago as I noticed the order wasn't right. Even though the cables seemed unaltered, the cable lengths stopped them from 'wanting' to be rearranged, they were more comfortable as they where. Still, they're 'right' now.

Anything from 40mph and above, and it's fifth gear for me. Engine is labouring too much with anything below that. As said, that fifth gear gives a nice smooth cruise at higher speeds.

Brilliant, I'm glad that you got it Nick, and that you're happy with it. I too put my old jack next to it, bit of a difference!

Here's the advert I mentioned, Steve & Mike (or anyone else of course) if you use them again, especially for something substantial then feel free to let me know, you can have my discount.

I love the part in this series where he says - 'the Capri!'

Marvellous, I have that episode as a digital file.

Why all the pratting about when you can just buy one nice and easy from Martin as above. Another option is that the Capri Club also sell them.

'You've killed me scooter!'

It won't be as good as On The Buses. Love that

Would you believe that Juliet Bravo was created by the same person who created The Sweeney.

Yes, Ian kennedy Martin has had a hand in a lot of stuff as many of them do. Including The Chinese Detective.

Thought I'd seen them.

I'd stick with the two handed approach if I was you Nick, holding the mounts where the back wheels are.

No.

Stumbled across BBC4 showing this tonight. A 1980 episode. The programme is far worse than I remember it being. But great cars on it. Great stuff Mike. It's easy to forget just how massive and popular some of these shows were. And I get just the sensation you're mentioning with a lot of classic TV ...

The Capri Club sell new ones of these as well don't they, I'm sure I've seen them in the latest magazine.

Aldi do them, it's where I got mine from. Haven't used it much but seems a very decent bit of kit, very happy with it.

Only certain individuals Dave. Although it does seem like it at times.

You just wait until you get yours Nick, bet you feel the same!

You're not wrong. Goodness.

Thanks. Will definitely give them a ring next time.
