Hi just asking advise on this please...when I turn the key to start sometimes it will start..and other times there's just a clunk..any ideas I had a similar problem on my GL, replaced the starter and problem solved, it has recently started again though so planning to check the connections on that a...

Did you check the earth itself? If you wiggled the earth wire and it worked I would've thought that the earth connection was crap and to fix that rather than replacing the whole relay?

Cheers

Cheers Paul, I have some time booked off work later this week to get a lot of capri stuff sorted so will call you over the next day or two so I can book in with you!

Cheers

Hi guys, mentioned last week about the rev counter not working since I changed the carb over fro a 34 IHC to a 32/36 and everyone said that there was a spare wire somewhere that goes straight to the coil, but as per my pictures below I can't find any spare/loose wires at all? Help please! Thanks htt...

If anyone is interested by the way, Novatech in Slough want £70+VAT and hour (£82 an hour) and a pinto apparently takes around 2hours so would be about £160 to set up, once I've actually got the thing working within reason!

That means something else must be wrong as to why my rev counter isn't going! Hi Danny, The rev counter is fed from the coil. Andrew. Cheers Andrew, I did find this thread earlier http://www.fordcapriforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=37072 which I have checked and all my other wires seem to be attach...

That is correct - the wire was for the fuel cut off valve on the original VV carb and the 34ich. Just curl it up and tie it up somewhere out of the way. How's the car going with all the new bits? Oh I seeeee.... That means something else must be wrong as to why my rev counter isn't going! And so fa...

Hi, Just got the car back with the new carb on it, but there is one wire (which I'm pretty certain is the rev counter, judging by the fact it no longer works and is the only wire currently not connected) that came off of the old carb (34 ICH) which had a spade clip attachment, but cannot find the sa...

Though you can only print in plastic, would be pretty handy to do it with metal when I need a new front wing :lol: You can 3D print in steel also. Sweet, I know what I'm buying myself for Christmas!! :lol: Genuinely though, I think it wouldn't be such a bad idea for a group of people to band togeth...

You can print almost anything, which is pretty amazing! I know that a few years back people in the US were kicking up a fuss as someone figured out a way to 3D print all the parts needed to make a fully working gun :shock: I also saw at a university on a site visit once that someone 3D printed a pla...

I had one off you once before but seem to remember you saying you'd got no stock left so I started worrying about future replacements - I know these don't last!! I'm scared to used my indicators now lest I should break it again! Not exactly an easy part to reproduce so either need to start find a r...

I've seen on ebay that there's people selling new aftermarket ones. I bought one as a backup but haven't tried it yet. I looks close-ish, but maybe a little *cheap* looking :( I've just had a quick look and guess that this link is what you mean? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brand-New-Indicator-and-Hor...

Martin is better than CCI so if I were you I'd buy his stuff!

Front and Rear bumpers I'd probably say get new ones? CCI do reproduction bumpers and I think they are £70 each but are good quality replacements rather than trying to fettle an old one?

Andrew.

I know that feeling, the only information I ever retain is stuff completely useless!

Looks like its done a decent job!

I had the exact same issue with my steering wheel but was struggling to find a decent way to repair it so bought another from a different model with less shite leather but will definitely have to go back and try this!

Nice one, good find/well remembered Andrew!

Seriously impressed with the amount of stuff he has managed to get done in a single garage! Can't wait to see the finished article

Not sure how I found this or who's it is (own up!) but looks to have been a great project and a lot of work!

I really don’t know as I like the old fashion gauges So do I, but I think it's great that somebody even came up with the idea in the first place. Then to take that idea and to invest time and money in getting it to work is to be commended. I think that a few owners would like this modern interpreta...

Fuse 1 is also for the indicators and rear stop lights and front washer jet so have you checked those earths as well?
Otherwise I'm starting to run out of ideas!
