Re: Bit of a Blast from the past.
Hi Tom, Great video this. I just downloaded it successfully with a free web base saver called, 'savefrom.net' if this helps? I tried a few others, but they all wanted me to download their software for free.... Always suspicious of those... Also thanks for the first video here 'EssexV6essex', nice on...

Re: Headcorm Kent. 23rd May.
Hi again, Been watching the Headcorn Aerodrome web-site for this and they still haven't confirmed this, so with the prospect of a blast right round the M25 in the persistent rain, I'm going to give it a miss, sorry!!! If this does go ahead and you get there, I trust you have a great time. All the be...

Re: Later MK 3 Windscreen Seal now available CCI
Hey Nick, Nice find fell. As you know my new screen isn't exactly the correct one and the seal from Kent's is not great either..... But, it has kept me on the road for last year and all of this year too with dry feet, so that is a win I'll take for now.... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5118004...

Re: Agreed Valuation
Hi there, I've had mine with an agreed value for the last few years with my insurance company, Classic Line. They initially sent out a questionnaire for a professional to fill out regarding the condition of the car mechanically etc, etc. I then had to do as Danny says and fill out another smaller qu...

Re: BRITAIN'S MOST BORING CAR
Hi all, Of all the cars I've driven I can say No 1, the Austin Metro, I did my test in one of these contraptions (BSM) and my foot covered all 3 peddles just about, but they were also totally characterless. My next one, I don't know if I'm being unfair, as this car did get 5 of us round the Tetley P...

Hi Dallas, Great looking Capri there. As Andy has already said, I do think a nice Red Capri is one of the best colours, if not the best.... I did have a Red 1.6 L many years ago which I still have fond memories of... Hope to see this in the flesh once the World returns to normal.... Take care & ...

Re: 2.8 clutch
Hi there, I'm not 100% positive about this one. But I've heard horror stories where the incorrect 'Thrust Bearings' have been fitted, wrong depth / thickness. So the fork does not push on these when it should... If you've been suffering with these problems for a while, when the guy fitted the new cl...

Hi all, These are great tools and any one doing any wiring in their Capri should own one!!! I've just re-placed a few of my speaker cables going into the front doors, which had corroded inside the doors. We use these at work too.
