Throttle cable
Got my new engine in and all seems well. Just a couple of little problems, one is that the ball joint keeps popping out of its hole on the accelerator pedal, there aren't any clips or anything holding it to the pedal, should there be? Also could someone post up a pic showing the throttle cable in th...

Re: Oil pump strainer
Excellent news. It isn't that big of a hole so I will just go ahead and get a magnetic sump plug.

Yes, Beakster used to be a regular on here. He has since been living the Canadian dream (and still has a Capri). He does still frequent the forum I believe.

Oil pump strainer
I took the sump off the engine that is due to go into the car to fit a new gasket and I noticed a small hole in the mesh filter at the bottom of the pick up pipe. Is this a major problem and is that mesh cheap to replace?

Back on the road finally?
My Capri has been off the road for a couple of years now, what with one thing or another I could never really afford to get her on the road and when I could afford it I either had someone screwing me over regarding the car or other pressing matters that I had to deal with. Enough is enough and I hav...

Internet movie car database
I just found this by accident whilst searching for news on an upcoming tv series. It lists all the tv and movie appearances the Capri, or any car has made. Don't know how comprehensive it is, but sure is handy to settle those arguments. http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=Ford&model=Capri&...

Re: Water getting into oil
We had the head off recently as the garage it was last at made a balls up and didnt even tighten it down. Not happy at seeing this, hoping it is just that we missed something and we'll take the head off and go 'OHHH of course'. The head looked fine when it was off. Looks like head off again and I mi...
