Re: Ronan's 2.8 Special

Hi Ronan,
Yes, do feel free to e-mail any more photos that you would like to have posted on here. However, you will have to PM me to let me know if you do so, as that e-mail inbox is not checked very often.

All the best,
Andrew.

Re: Rear fog light switch illumination

Hi All, Perhaps the switch and connector were changed sometime during the production run? Or perhaps mine and Ian's cars have been fiddled with in the past. I'm in no doubt that your car will be exactly as it was when it left the factory, but I guess we can't be so sure. I'll have a look at mine lat...

This is no time for flippant comments, haven't you heard that my switches are the wrong way round? This is a serious situation. :)

I know Tom, I'm mortified. How could something as significant as this possibly have happened?
Never mind, I'll lose sleep worrying about it tonight, but it'll be corrected in the morning. :guitar:

Re: Rear fog light switch illumination

Hi,
It's the other way around on mine. The bottom photo is the same as my foglight switch connector.
The other one looks like the bulb I was thinking of earlier that is a tiny capped bulb. The two bulbs are definitely different on mine.

Re: 2.8 exhaust opinions welcome

but don't go thinking its going to look as polished as some of the photo's on the internet make them look. This shouldn't present much of a problem if you wish to have a nice shiny complete system, or even just the tailpipes. Just take them to a metal polishers prior to having them fitted, and they...

Dashboard switches

Hi All, Please can somebody let me know the original factory locations of the four dashboard switches under the heater control. From left to right, mine is the foglight, rear wiper, washer and heated rear screen, although I'm not sure that's correct as I've seen various combinations in other cars. T...

Re: NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED

Hi, As the others have said, what a real shame. I'm sorry to see your Capri in such a sorry looking condition. That rear wheel has taken a heck of a whack. In all honesty, looking at the pictures, that underlying rust on the bottom of the front wing, rear arch and on the sill would have needed atten...
