The Ford Capri Laser Page

Definitely think that is part of it Went to look at a car for one of my cousins a few weeks back and got chatting to the dealer there who told me that 99% of people don't even come to view the car before buying it and he was surprised when we had asked to look at it, let alone drive it It seems to h...

Surely lasting longer is a bit of a moot point- depending how often you change your plugs of course...

I think I do mine every year or worst case every other, but the Haynes says to do them every 6months!

Either way, I've never had one break

Just curious to others thoughts

Never seen an exhaust held together with cable ties :lol: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134951088897?itmmeta=01HQTCJ20XGF6JHPC5PAARWGBQ&hash=item1f6bb63301:g:6okAAOSwrcFl3LZ7&itmprp=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwHvUpdP%2FpF6Fb5XLEApIdqz9KiEmqwZHq57R3Sf4HRWfD2%2BUXK3U0I%2BQ2zxZD8RkJi6ZxFHEhc2G8UxMfJwNjTnBbW6P...

Any luck yet Peter??

It's quite an eye-opener to see what is lurking under the surface! Still, it all looks good now. Presumably you are just having the repaired bits painted, not the whole car? Andrew. Quite concerning more than anything, i would never have known there was so much rust lurking underneath it all! Yes j...

It is a balance isn't it, how many people will have googled something to fix their car, used and abused the forum without ever becoming a member? There was a kerfuffle about it all several years ago - I recall because I did exactly what Tom did and searched an old users posts :lol: - anyway, an over...

Another update, inner sill ends added, just need a bit of fettling and tidying up on both sides before sticking the wings back on and then I'll need to find a painter!
Phils usual chap has stopped taking any work on due to health issues so guess I will have to start looking!

Hello all, and thanks for the welcome. I am asking because the steel pipes to the rad have had it, ie rotten, and was wondering if reinforced rubber hydraulic hoses would do the job, with crimped end fittings. Thanks again for the replies. Yes, will definitely work I had to change my rad as the ori...

As others have said, it's really not that high
Why do you ask? We may be able to make to help with suggestions if there is an issue of some kind?

:lol: :lol: :lol: There was one a couple of months ago and it descended into an absolute riot of name calling and oneupmanship that went on for several pages, it was absolutely hilarious. Can't even remember what started it now, some spare part or other :lol: I'm quite sure I don't know what you're...

I'm glad it's not just me that does that then Tom
I do it all the time and you find some funny conversations

5% commission for the auction house - they've done very well out of that And there is a buyers premium too. From their website; Our standard buyer's premium charge is 12.5% + VAT of the hammer price for motor vehicles (cars and motorcycles). So the new owner paid over £60k! Jesus wept And we though...

Aye, is does do dat.

I've spent almost half my life as a member of this forum - that's how quickly it goes!!

There have been some 3.0S go for 25-30 ish
Not sure what the most ever is, but have seen some RS3100s up for 60/70+k

Bloody Brooklands tax strikes again.
Will paint my cars Brooklands Green if I ever need to sell them

yeah , thats hard to know what bit of their history counts the most . We had a guy here who donated millions to the musical arts , got school buildings built, paid for and named after him , quite the hero ............turns out he is a sexual predator , the old story , one person speaks up loud enou...

I Must admit I've never checked the valve clearances on this car as I never knew how, looks straight forward enough to adjust though. I've rebuilt a carb before so pretty confident changing all that stuff. If you`re goingto rebuild the carb, so I`m guessing removing it - adjust the valves before yo...

I had similar symptoms last year. Valve clearances made a massive difference, definitely check and set them if you haven't already. Cleaning up the carb was the next thing, the accelerator pump in the carb made a massive difference as well. We replaced quite a few parts on the carb in the field at C...

Looks a good deal, front and back bumpers, including indicator cases and overriders
