The Ford Capri Laser Page

thanks for replying haven't used the lights yet as still rebuilding the car just had seen people say the capri lights are very good so was looking at what to fit People say they aren't very good because about 10% of the headlight bowl is covered by the bonnet lip.. on a mk3 anyway. Not much can be ...

:rice: Bleedin Hell chaps you're taking as though you actually live under Khans spell. Spare a thought for me. :wave: :lol: Trouble is Nick, it's spreading. There are ULEZ notices all around where I live, including just a few yards away, drive a few yards from your home and pay for the privilege. Re...

I count one in that photo. How many do you guys see?

All these :swear: run around London in Range Rover convoys while preaching to us about buying an EV :roll: My favourite was the climate summit COP21 in Glasgow. World leaders and self proclaimed 'elites' flew in from all around the world at enormous carbon cost to sit around and decide 'what to do'...

Could it be damaged teeth on the ring gear? Something I have found on some cars the starter needs to be pushed towards the engine when tightening the bolts/nuts especially on non standard starters. I have seen some starters with over large mounting holes maybe to allow for manufacturing tolerances,...

When you say your car is struggling to turn over how good is the starter motor? They do ware out and also how good is the battery? If you put a set of Jump leads from another car that is running too yours does it start any better? It is well worth removing the lead from the starter motor and checki...

I have seen engines with the valves so far recessed into the cylinder head they had gone into the water jacket and wrecked the heads. Yes I remember you saying something like this recently, it's one of the reasons I'm getting mine done. I think I've adjusted them back three or four times at least n...

That is very cheap, are you sure that is not per valve? My local guy charges between £350 and £500 for a 4 cylinder head depending on how bad they are. I am sure he said the inserts alone are about £30 each. I'll double check when I call back, but I don't think it was per valve.. I was expecting it...

I got a quote recently of £240+VAT from a company in MK to supply and fit the valve seats (all 4) - not including new valves if needed etc I was about to book it in but Phil at Capri Care has thrown me - he has said that he has never hardened any valve seats on any car he runs and never had an issu...

And I assume you've been drinking the beers he's brewed, Trooper etc 👍 :beer: It's a yes from me. It's brewed in my home town, Dickinson has been to the brewery to oversee it, etc. They do tours and sell Maiden goodies.

Great album. Can't argue with that! I love a bit of Maiden. Eddie makes a great tattoo too, I have two :lol: Have you seen the Good Beer Guide 2024? Bruce Dickinson wrote the foreword and it's in Maiden font 8-) And I assume you've been drinking the beers he's brewed, Trooper etc 👍 :beer:

Kahn's a psychopath globalist nutcase. Target his face. Fire phasers and a full spread of photon torpedos.

I love a bit of Maiden. Great story Andy, didn't know that!

Andyd your reply has been deleted 🤔 In a rush to edit it and deleted instead :lol: Ahhh I have done the same thing. My most hated mistake (on a phone or tablet) is just getting to the end of a long post, then hitting some as yet unknown keystroke and deleting the whole thing by mistake :swear:

Oh yes you're right there was, it had its own early 2000s website and everything.

Here we are:

Website's gone though!

I am looking for a spare engine for my 73 ford capri and I was wondering if anyone new the correct code numbers found on the block casting to make sure I get a similar engine. I believe some Transit vans come out with V4S in New Zealand but they were of lower compression and used different heads et...
