Re: Temp and fuel gauge annoyance
Ok thanks.. I have just dismantled the dash, soldered on a Capri club replacement voltage regulator and same. Took spade connectors off and on sender, seemed ok, but sometimes no reading at all. Put back in seems ok but just reads full but off the scale. It’s always done that. I don’t think much of...

Re: Heater box
The one you have looks like one from a early MK1 heater box. I supply the new ones for the BEHR heater box used in the later MK2 and all MK3 heater boxes.

Re: Loom connector
As I suspected, it's the connector for the rear wiper switch on the early MK2 models

Re: Loom connector
It's close to the cig lighter and clock wiring , looks like it's on a MK2 so I would think it is one of the switches in the fascia below the heater panel or possibly one of the switches that early MK2 had in the lower dash panel next to the ashtray.

Re: 2.8 injection engine re build
I have found that the aftermarket caps for the 2.8i usually need the little tabs closing up slightly in order to make a good seal on the neck of the radiator.

Re: Metal plate removal
It's for the dim dip system, simply pull the wiring apart at the red plug.
