The Ford Capri Laser Page

Contrats, Just about to attempt the sale myself!

I do like an orange Capri

Good point, tes the keys were in the ignition.

It was the rear driving lights... the red fellas.

Cheers

Hello all I just noticed (so not sure if this is new or not) but with then engine switched off and the lights off, the rear lights suddenly came on for a few seconds, then off, then few moments later they came back on again... for a few seconds. Then that was it. Dodgy connection I guess, but any id...

Hey, liking that colour quite a lot. I'm pretty new here too, its an excellent place to be.

Rear parcel shelf any good?

.. do as I do, do as I say son! (my old Dad to me, and I trot it out to my kids nowadays )

Thanks Martin.. you've been PM'd.

Thanks Nige. You can be sure I've tried slamming the back seat hard enough to work up a small sweat! So it needs replacing then, I'll do as you suggest in the parts forum.
Cheers!

Good advice I'm sure, I will take it, thanks. I'll be in touch for the parts. One more thing actually. The left hand rear seat is not locking in place. I mean the "latch?" that should lock the backrest in place when its not folded down is not locking. So the back rest is basically floating...

Thanks all, thanks Martin, I will reply to you shortly. So brakes probably need a good seeing too, I might have a go at cutting my diy teeth on that, I think its probably doable for a relative novice... feel free to correct me on that (maybe I won't sell the old Golf just yet... in case) Could you r...

Thanks for your kind words and welcome

See you in the Q&A forum!

Hi all So I took possession of a 1982 2.8 last Thursday. I'm a happy bunny but have started compiling a list of things that need attention. Some I hope are relatively small jobs like : Windscreen washers not working, front and rear. I'll check the connections I can, but guess probably a new pump req...

Picked it up today, so shes mine now. Will live with it for a while and learn what needs attention and probably come back here for some advice. Initial impressions (this is my first Capri, and tbh the first "old" car I've driven in a long time) are good. Forgive me if you all know about th...

So, I have an update for you... I only gone and bought it! I'm pretty excited to tell the truth. I'll not pick it up for a couple of weeks, which will be a looong old wait.

Once I have it I'll let you know how things look and hopefully put some pictures up for comment.

Cheers (to me!)

Thanks for your reply Peter I didn't ask about documented history, I will do though and report back. Funny, I notice now the ad says 1982, but I thought he said 1984 to me... I need to confirm on that it seems. Also the ad.. in French says limited slip diff.. that's a good thing I would think, thoug...

Hello all I live in France down South and a couple of monts ago I noticed a black 2.8 on thé forecourt of a local garage. I have never considered a Capri to be honest, and living down here the past 10 years had pretty much forgotten about them since you simply don't see them around. Anyway long stor...
