The Ford Capri Laser Page

My handbrake Switch and brake fluid warning light is not working. I haven't checked the lamp yet but will do that soon. I have restored the MK3 laser but never got the warning light to work. Just wanted a bit of help of the location of the handbrake Switch and what colour cables will be going to thi...

I have removed my viscous fan on my pinto and bought an electric fan from eBay a while back. Made a alloy plate to fit where the old cowling was and mounted the fan onto that. Also added in a temperature sensor switch from maplins which is dead easy to wire up. Just mounted the unit to the alloy pla...

Hi All I have had problems from the start and I have always thought it was a negative issue. After re wiring, putting the battery in the boot, new twin 40's, new edge 1.4kw starter and a retune my pinto 2.0 will struggle to start when cold. It almost sounds like the the engine is too advanced and tr...

Have you got an electronic ignition or points?

My 1986 capri radio is starting to fail rapidly. The stations have started to not save, the signal drops out now and again, sometimes the radio turns on but the display with show random numbers and now the cassette player will not eject anymore. Can anyone recommend someone to repair this for me. th...

Hello everyone I have a very strange problem with my accuspark ignition. When the engine is cold everything seems to be fine but when the heat starts to set in then it starts to act like a rev limiter. At first it was kicking in at 2500rpm then the other day at 3000 and today at 5000. I did adjust t...

The problem seems to be resolved!!! Removed a few shims and it tightened everything up. Great shout.

Thanks everyone for the input

Thank you for the replies. I will go through the possibilities and let you know if any progress.

Everything has only had about 3000 miles wear and tear.

Hello everyone. Just wanted some advice on my MOT failure for excessive play with the steering. I am very confused as last year it passed and now the examiner women says it's a fail. I haven't touched anything and said to her that it's an old car and they all do it as it's a rack and pinion. I was t...

I have converted my battery to the boot and it fits fine. I placed mine in the centre and snug against the backseats. I can still have easy access to the spare wheel without any adjustments. Just get some decent battery cable or some long jump leads and your in business. Lift up the carpet and I thi...

Very true i have only one side of my bush when i looked the other day. Looks like it was once a single bush but has worn out to two and then i have lost the other half.

No idea where i can purchase one though.

I put an electronic ignition in my laser with twin 40s 2 days ago and it sounds and runs 10x better. Reliability will be much higher as your not using anything with moving parts. I bought the accuspark kit with a timing gun and set it all up. Only problem was that the module which fits in the dizzy ...

Nailed it. Thanks everyone involved.

Can anyone do a simple drawing of which light on the dashboard cluster illuminates? I seem to have missed a few connections when putting the dashboard back.

How much are you willing to sell for? Where are you in the UK?

Has anyone got a master cylinder from a 2.8i? I have the servo but would ideally need the 22m bore.

Thanks

Well i have been in contact with a company called J&L Spares Export and they can rebuild or repair my servo for me. Here is my email exchange with them with the prices. Hope this might help anyone who will need a servo repaired. I have a ford Capri mk3 1986 Laser and have removed my servo. I was...

Hi, I am in the process of buying a master cylinder and servo for my laser and saw that the wires going to the reservoir must be for a low level warning light!! Only thing is i dont have a clue where this warning light is? if anyone knows of a wiring diagram to explain that would be great.

Thanks

Yes got a complete servo with master cylinder now to test and give it a rebuild. I will also take my 2.0 servo off and do the same. I am thinking that the diaphragm will have broken I some way so will have a look and try and send it off to the professionals!! Will let everyone know how it goes. P.s....

Brilliant this sounds perfect. Thank you very much for a quick response.
