Never heard s much...

tosh in all my life!!! Hahaha. Seriously, I wouldn't know what multi media was if it bit me on the arse, but after years of PC ownership and just 3 months of Apple Mac ownership, I'll NEVER be going back. Maybe they've moved on since your experiences? Each to his on I suppose... :)

Looks VERY nice mate

<t>I'm quite a newbie to Capri ownership this time round having recently bought a 2.8i for my weekend plaything. \\There are some wonderfully helpful & knowledgable people on this forum & they can be a great help.... Just ask.<br/> <br/> Where abouts are you from? There may be a club locally...

It would be

worth your while cleaning it up yourself mate.
They can fetch up to 200 if you advertise in the right places.
On the other hand, if you're feeling lazy (I would be too!) then a ton is about right.

Insurance

I've just insured my 2.8i on a 3000 mile limited policy with the Adrian S Flux GOLD dept as a classic. 160 fully comp. That is without using any NCB as I use a company car daily so didn't have any. I know I'm 32 but i was chuffed!

Tyres

To be honest, I have power steering on my 2.8i so don't notice, but it will probably be heavyish on parking I would think. Shouldn't be unbearable though.

TYRES

Would suggest you get new 205/60/13 tyres mate. Your existing are too narrow and if anything you're speedo is more likely to be inaccurate now with 80 series tyres. I think my pepperpots are 7x13"

Anti Dive

I used to fly around in Mk2 Escorts years ago & we fitted anti-dive kits to the front of the anti roll bar at the front. The fitted between the cars body & the anti roll bar rubbers both sides at the front of car.

My advice....

Don't do it Mike!!!! The drive goes to the wrong wheels!!!!!

Just because I'm now in possession of your trusty 2.8i, doesn't mean you can defect to the XR3i fraternity.

Hahahaha

Leaks

<t>I'm no expert but have you taken off the heater pipes & flushed the matrix through with clean water. It might be worth your while checking your thermostat in a saucepan as I couldn't count the amount of new ones I've fitted that were faulty. If that is fine, I would change the Pressure cap as...
