The Ford Capri Laser Page

Hi,
Thanks for the heads up, Steve.
I missed the programme, but hopefully I will be able to catch up on 4 OD or whatever it's called.

The trouble with the spray on stuff, is that (apart from being expensive), if you have some grit on your car, you will simply rub it into the paintwork. Less chance of that with washing the usual way, with hosing the car down first. :agree: In effect you're just swirling grit and dirt particles on ...

Hi,
Well done on getting the car started.
You know that's an effective anti-theft system when even the owner can't start the car!
Andrew.

Hi,
You need a boss to fit the Ford splines which the steering wheel will bolt to. In my opinion, why bother when there are so many Ford wheels to choose from that will fit straight on?
Andrew

Is he thinking "Will this fit in the dustbin, so I can get that cologne V6 under the bonnet of my 1970 and later Capri"?

Hi,
I really feel for you, what a terrible situation to be in!

Hi,
The photo was a fitting tribute and respects have been paid. However, it's now time to move on. How about featuring a different forum member's car each month instead?
All the best,
Andrew.

Hi Fordoholic Nick,
Welcome to the forum, you will find lots of friendly advice and knowledgeable people here.

Is this for real, or is it the motoring equivalent of sending the new apprentice to the builder's merchant for glass nails or tartan paint etc?

The working of the cars not affected its just an annoying noise. Hi, I think we've all spent hours trying to find annoying squeaks and rattles etc. :) In fact, years ago my Uncle tried, unsuccessfully, to locate an annoying noise on his Cortina mk4.

Hi all Where's the best place to get panels for the Mk3? I have been looking for a scuttle panel for a while but nobody makes new ones. Is there a place that does typical repair panels?

Hi,
Thanks Mike,
That made me chuckle, I've experienced a few of those situations before.....
Is anyone unlucky enough to be able to check off all of the list?
Andrew.

Don't want noises sounding like my car is run on guinea pigs in a wheel thank you. Hi, They help reduce the fuel consumption though! ;) Is the squeaking noise coming from the alternator, water pump or belt? I think that the fan is only effective at drawing the heat from the radiator with the shroud...
