Hello, Could some one tell me what this part is? Every time I turn left, a bunch of petrol comes out, cheked the rubber of the filling tube and its fine, but that little thing is pretty loose and the tube just goes nowhere (the picture isnt mine) Thank you, http://s14.postimage.org/dxzq91wst/IMG_201...

For those who wonder a bit about brake servos, I did a vacume test at mine, it wasnt doing anything so once I knew it was broken I decided to open it up. Turns out the big plastic bit was cracked ( I dont know how) and there was several pieces of sharp plastig inside the servo, and is what I asume p...

I had a similar problem, great MPG in motorways, crap in curves and town. Turns out the rubber that joins the tank to the pipe was cracked and every time i turned left, petrol flew out

Done a little bit of research. Just rang different capri owners from here spain. Either 2.0 2.3and2.8 have a 70 mm bolt distance MC and servo and as i can see, different shape and size. Looks like they had different dealers in germany made capris and uk made capris. Ive had done a servo vacum test w...

sorry nige i posted with out reading you. Well, pads are new, I have 2.8 vented discs with no dust covers, and i havnt used the brakes in track day or racing or anything. I have 2 duct hoses pointing cold air at discs. I just finished restoring the car and started using it a couple of months ago. Iv...

ok, just got back from the garage... Measured the distance of the bolts of my servo and they are 90mm. Ive measured the bolt distance of an other 2ltre and 70mm. my question is, Did they change servos before and after 83 reg? or, could it be that UK made capris have different servos as cologne made ...

Well, i allready have ebc greenstuff, ap racing 600 fluid and new calipers, lines and MC. I have this problem no matter the use of the car, motorway, trackday, cold hot... I will take apart the servo and take some pictures, because i definetly have a 20.6 mm MC and my servo isnt a 2.0 one :? Ill put...

than you guys.

Could be bug, I have a 2,0 servo at home and they are definetly different. Mine is bigger, Do you have a picture of a 1.6 servo? i cant find one.

Is the servo similar or the same to other models like sierras or so? or can they be adapted?

thanks again!!

Last year i changed everything except servo( master cylinder, copper lines, new caliper, pads discs and fluid) The symtoms I have is that Sometimes the car brakes, and sometimes the pedal just get...

Hi! I was looking at better brake sistem, as my original brakes faded twice leaving me with no brakes... At the end, as I do drive sportly but not competicion, I decided to fit what you say, 2.8discs calipers. Ive always sayed thay an original brake system propely reconstructed, can be pretty good. ...

well Im not really sure about the xmember part as I had that done by a workshop but I was told its a 2.8 one.
Ill check the mounts on the week end and post some pictures

i have 205/50/ in my 15 brooklands, Once I saw 215... it seemed too wide.

Well, you might as well get hold of the alternator pulley if its the only one left. The crank one is the most fussy one to change. But as I sayed, I run it with only one belt and no problem at all. I dont know exactly the lenght, I got a piece of string, got it arround marked it and I when to my loc...

Hi, I have a 2.0 pinto with power sistem.
