The Ford Capri Laser Page

Sadly the 3 litre Essex is the Capri engine that I know least about. Is the fuel filter original and does this sit between the original mechanical fuel pump and the carb ? Does the car have a separate fuel return pipe back from the carb to the tank ? Have you tried driving the car a short distance w...

Is Martin back from his holidays yet ?

:lol: :lol: No it's not a "gif" chaps. Just a fixed picture but looks well cool. Those moving "gif" things eat up the battery power. Mind you this Huawei has a very impressive battery compared to the Samsung I have had. I wouldnt be surprised, Ive just had a look at the battery ...

I was thinking of something uprated such as a Felpro or Cometic head gasket from Burton Power - but Ive just realised the cost of the latter. Ive always had good results with Victor Reinz gaskets which are sensibly priced and Im sure the CCI one will be a good quality standard gasket too. it might b...

For the Collectors edition Capri book will it be possible to request the same number as ive got for the TCYAPY Collectors edition (490) or does this have to follow sales quantities ?

I wish there were affordable 15" pepperpots.

Interesting to see te Laser was mainly for the UK market. Did they carry on with the LS, S and Ghia for longer in the other markets ?

Excellent poster.

especially like the subtly enlarged bonnet bulge. How did you do that ?

Did you get the money you were after ?

I would go: 1.6 Emax block with 1.6 non Emax head. Use a bog standard 2.0 camshaft (but with a vernier sprocket so you can adjust it absolutely spot on). Use a quality head gasket because you will have slightly higher than standard compression. You will need the 2.0/Emax cambelt as the one for the e...

Very AC/DC- though the last I saw AC/DC live Axl Rose was covering vocal duties in place of Brian Johnson. So more like AC/D... Their support act Rival Sons was well chosen though and have become increasingly well known since. A new band id very much like to see live one day is Greta van Fleet. very...

Listening to them now. Excellent. Great to see the late Lemmy in the video. I bumped into him once in the Marquee club in Wardour Street, he'd just turned up to watch a band with everyone else, was happy to chat to everyone and went home on the tube.

70's Glam Rock and Hard rock, Early 80's (NWOBHM especially) I feel lucky to have experienced that music :guitar: Stick with what I know, and if/when something new and interesting comes along then all good. Not holding my breath though. I couldnt agree more. Every now and then I keep trying to bran...

..and Ive even responded to the PM now. People dont believe it when i tell them i work in technology, i wonder why

Its very good to see youve started on it already. Buying and restoring this Capri is a great thing to do. Best of luck and keep the updates coming.

I was the guilty party. My inbox was completely full, now cleared. A lesson learned.

+1 for that Aldi compressor. excellent value. I got one on recommendation I'd seen on here and though ive not used it for painting any panels as yet I have given it some fairly heavy use spraying lots of damp/ woodworm treatment on a house i was doing up. A really good compressor. About 20 years ago...

Well, Martin said it wasnt a difficult job and he was right. -loosen wheel nuts on both rear wheels -Jack the car up and put strong axle stands under a suitable position on the body -Move the trolley jack to just under the diff, dont actually lift it, just let it very slightly take up the weight of ...

A nice car. Forgot how light and airy the Sierra cabin was. I can never understand why they replaced it with the fwd Mondeo really. Ford could have just kept evolving the Sierra and kept a serious foot in rwd territory.
