Because they made a car you don't like?

....which is exactly what he's saying, on at least two sets of lamps and bulbs. Granted it *is* unlikely that that is what is happening here, but it's certainly not impossible.

Maybe they're wired in series rather than parallel? Half power to each? I think that's probably unlikely, but you never know!! (I'm assuming parallel would be hoe they're wired from the factory?)

Pretty sure stuff was equally shit back then, you're all just looking through rose tinted specs. There was still crime, poverty etc. People have always been people, so there were just as many selfish/sadistic/stupid people back then as there were today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosy_retrospection

46! Got caught out by some of the huge barges and late 70s junk.

Might be an obvious thing to point out, but pressures will read differently at different temperatures iirc

Companies offer incentives to get your business. If they're not willing to offer incentives to *keep* your business (without you having to ask) then it's best to vote with your feet imo.

Nice to see you back Bug, just a shame it had to be in a BMW!!! (Although I approve of the bold colour choice, I get bored of all the monochrome cars around - doesn't help that my last 4 cars have gone silver, grey, black, black! )

A good example being the bonnet, didn't like it plus I couldn't see apex on left handers, now gone.

Hahah, yeah, I can see in the picture that it could make that difficult actually!!

Pbar yes would love his details as it’s only the side stripe and laser badge I need , also yes I use transparency paper for large clocks but never new they did the soak in water type so may have a look .

Wheel diameter doesn't matter. What matters is what tyres you put on, and the width and offset you use. E.g. with the same width and offset, and an appropriate tyre, it will have almost identical proportions : http://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?width=205&aspect=60&diameter=13&wheelwidt...

Yes 18" wheels are possible, clearance issues will depend on wheel width, offset and how low you want to go. I run 18's although I still think they look a bit too big on a Capri, for me it's a case of needs must as anything smaller won't fit over the 360mm discs and 6-pots, plus there's an end...

280. Same as standard except for worse wheels, horrible paint colour, naff decals and a boring interior.

Anything with a 70's "Custom Car" theme

Guess what you have hit the nail on the head as I have bought some transparency printer paper and thought i would try my self and there on that listing is a picture of the stripes and laser I can copy and paste on to the computer ... I don’t know why they don’t do laser 1/18 stickers as I have foun...

Being a nice looking RWD fastback coupe is more important than those things imo!

I like those. They look like a lot of fun, and they're nice looking too

^ This. So nice to be rid of all that PITA points bullshit!

Have you seen this already?: http://www.capriwiki.com/index.php?titl ... rd_BOA/BOB

I don't think it directly answers your question, but might be useful nonetheless!

Thanks for the info and the pics mctool. Interesting idea with the rad. Which rad are you using? I'd love to see pics of it in situ if it's done already! Hi Mate, Don't bother putting a boring, under powered Rover in it - lot of grief for not much more power than a V6, speaking from experience try a...

I've just checked the part number on a Capri one here and it is different to the ones quoted. I don't think it will work but I may be wrong. I do know that early MK2 and MK3 are wired differently, they will plug in but don't work. Hmm, if i ever take the dash apart enough to test it i'll report bac...
