Re: Hi Fi Upgrade

That's very formal of you to wear a uniform when speculating! There's no doubt in my mind that it would be a WW2 RAF uniform. :lol: Andrew.

I found the readers stories of a better quality in Rustler but just my personal opinion.... :) I used to like the sexy stories best back in the day. I guess they've fallen out of favour now.

Re: Imaginary Capri Comeback

But it`s not going to happen, I really fear the name WILL be used but on some godawful electric SUV, as that`s all Ford plan on making henceforth. That's exactly my thought. It would be fantastic to see Ford introduce a retro looking performance car, similar to what Dodge have done with the Challen...

I was curious and the tool I used seems to think this is AI generated, as was that post on the other thread that we raised concerns about a while ago.

Re: The 2024 Mustang

What do you guys think? We bought a nearly new Mazda back in April and it annoys me with some of the features you can only turn off on a journey by journey basis. The sense that the car is controlling me rather than the other way around. I am already wondering if I will want a newer car with even m...

Re: Capri 2.8i exhaust system

Thanks! There is damage to one rear silencer which I think is repairable, but they are saying not only will it need replacing from front to back, but also both sides as it is a two pipe system. This makes no sense to me. Dismantle and straighten silencer and refit £150 vs whole new exhaust system a...

Re: Capri 2.8i exhaust system

A 2.8 rides lower than standard 4 cylinder capris so clipping speed ramps is more likely. It will also be more likely if the suspension is a bit tired or, of course, if it has been lowered. As said, make sure the U clamps are turned sideways for a bit of extra clearance. No need to change both boxes...

Re: 2nd cylinder keeps on fouling spark plugs

I`ve read and re-read the posts and TBH I can`t see anything that suggests `Cliquism` and I`m bewildered as to who the `Lord of the Manor` is. If it`s the person I`m guessing at, there have obviously been crossed wires: I know the person concerned would be mortified if he thought he was being perce...
