Re: Another Time-Warp Capri for Sale

This stunning car sold for £7202. I think the buyer should be happy with that. Hi Andrew, Incredible car for an incredible price fella....especially as its usually the higher spec models (2.8i, 3.0s etc) that tend to "seduce" this sort of money from potential buyers. I know that Lasers te...

Re: Halfords

Is anyone else annoyed by that Halfords advert where the two men are admiringly looking under the bonnet of an unknown car. One man asks the other man "V6 ?" and the other replies "V8". Are we supposed to be impressed by mechanics who can't differentiate between a V6 and V8 engi...

Re: Another Time-Warp Capri for Sale

the bids are already up to £6600. It can't go much higher than that..................can it? Andrew, I checked in on it myself tonight. 21 bids now with 2 days remaining...mate I reckon it will go over £7000. Who would have thought that for a Laser of any model... but suppose the retro ford scene h...

Re: Another Time-Warp Capri for Sale

I wonder who owns all the other interesting old Fords in that workshop, as the seller doesn't have any other cars for sale. Hi Andrew, What a workshop this fella has, like you pointed out. This reminds me of a little place that used to be down near Southend on Sea. Was called "Days of Grace&qu...

Re: Another Time-Warp Capri for Sale

Wow Andrew, What a simply superb example of a Laser. Never thought i would see one selling for 2.8i prices but this one is so perfect and original its no wonder its hit the £6000+ with 19 bidders already. Love the colour too. Uncracked dash i presume, original radio, perfect condition interior.........

If you're going anti clockwise around the M25 and don't mind a blue Capri messing up your lacquer red colour co-ordination, can I tag onto your convoy somewhere?

Re: water pump replacement

Only thing I would ad to the instructions already given is....don't bother tightening the viscous fan nut when you replace it. Just spin the fan on and leave it, it'll tighten itself enough when the engine is running. makes it easier to remove next time! And lightly copper grease all the threads on...
