I don't believe Sierra struts are the same, I'm only aware of Mk2 Bilsteins being the same as 2.8s

Just had a poke around on Capri brochures & Ford's marketing states "striped Laser fabric is used to trim seats designed by Recaro". They were designed for the XR3i. Also have fishnet headrests, although my came with normal ones as standard, I have fishnet ones sitting in my garage wai...

Thanks yeah battery is Exide one, and seats aren't Recaros but standard S strobe seats, Recaros wouldn't be a bad idea!

Only removed as now replaced with new ones - £20 Please PM me if interested. http://i835.photobu...

One day on my way to work (at the time working on client site doing 130 mile round trip each day) the car would splutter when cold & be fine once warmed up, but eventually it was just im...

There are lots of people who say they kept cement in the boot, not just on Capris, but other old Fords too like Zodiacs. I think you have to bear in mind tyre technology wasn't as advanced & people's driving skills aren't as good as proper racing drivers or stunt drivers from tv shows like Profe...

EFL90 filter, 20/50w oil. Oil is thicker (better in winter) & holds oil pressure better.

I use my car as a daily & it has come under some abuse from time to time in 3 and a half years. I bought it with 86k on the clock & normal leaded engine, using Castol Lead replacement with Octane Booster on virtually all fillups bar a few, measuring precisely. The head finally gave up at jus...

Done this morning

Just to let you all know prebooking for this event is now go! Head over to our forum or PM me!

Lovely car, all very nice & original. One thing I noticed was the manifold has one strip where there may have been something covering it & it's virtually new compared to the rest of it, where dirt & surface rust is apparent. Any ideas what was on there?
