The Ford Capri Laser Page

I have mentioned it to Beakster, not had any reply yet though. It's a shame that there isn't more admin to spare the time to look into stuff.

Your signature isn't loading either, yet the others are. I can see Andrew's twinkling tailgate but your's just says imageimageimage. Still not sure why!

Odd,

It works for me - were you logged in when you looked?

I was, yes. Just checked again, still not showing for me. Not sure why, all others seem to be ok.

Your images don't seem to be showing from that thread anymore Peter.

Thanks for the info. Yes, striking is a good word for it! Very unusual car.

I look on ebay but some must think they are selling a magical item... That's a big problem at the moment I think Chris. A lot of people seem to think that every old car part is worth millions. Just because something is old or rare it doesn't mean it's valuable! Good luck with finding the engine, gr...

Great pics, thanks for putting them all up, enjoyed looking through them. I'll take that black 3.0S thanks The spoiler on that Janspeed 3.0 is very unusual, what is that?

Thanks Andy, possibly it's a new issue then in that case.

Thanks for the replies, I'll bring it to the attention of Beakster.

I used to get e-mail notification when a PM is sent to me, but since the changes to the site (unless it's coincidental) that doesn't seem to happen anymore. Anyone else still get them? I've checked the settings and it is still set correctly.

Glad that you got it sorted

A bit late now, but it's shown on the Capri Wheeler Dealers episode. You will find it on youtube if you wish to take a look.

You beat me to it there Steve

Does anyone know how to use a voltage tester to see if the spare wire at the light really is live. ? It's difficult to say exactly without seeing the multimeter. But, probably turn the dial so it's pointing at 20v DC (or similar), and place the red probe in the spare wire, and the black to earth (e...

Thanks Peter, I thought I'd seen one in there. I'm inclined to think that parts are coming and going constantly through CCI, so it's often worth a phone call for that part you may be struggling to get.

That spare wire you mention, is on the 2.0 also, same place.

...I imagine that this would be flagged up by an onboard Police NPR camera. Because of this, you most likely will be pulled over by the Police and the car checked over... I've never actually heard of that happening. Perhaps someone else has? I doubt that it's the done thing, with the 'grey area' as...

Thanks Steve, nicely explained/confirmed.

Though there seems to be reports that new condensers can fail, it seems unlikely that you keep buying one faulty one after another, so perhaps something else is at fault. Changing over to electronic ignition may just mask that issue for a time, but the problem you have will remain unfixed maybe. Sor...

Looking for a cheap Capri if anyone got one don't matter on condition Around 500 not a lot but all I got I do hope that you can find one to fulfil your wish. If I recall correctly then unfortunately your Capri driving time may be limited, if that is the case have you considered perhaps loaning one ...
