<t>about third party fire and theft, I have used this for years and the money I have saved compared to fully comp runs to several thou. If your motor is immaculate then o.k. but if you're a carefull driver and your car's worth under a couple of grand then think about tp/f & theft. Yes the fully ...

<t>Yes Neil a K & N will probably increase fuel consumption slightly because it gives better airflow into the carb meaning your engine will suck air in easier, engine breathing is the term often used.<br/> Try sucking in fast with your mouth nearly closed then wide open - that's the difference. ...

<t>Good to have the old layout and getting back to some Respectable goings on.<br/> 'Picked this up in the local free rag, feb 19th:<br/> <br/> The reputation of the Volkswagen Beetle as the definitive Love Bug has been cemented in a recent survey by Dixon Motors, in which it was voted the car most ...

<t>Welcome onto the roads to you and your machine, you'll be burning plenty of juice for a while enjoying you freedom as we all have done. The main reason for low mpg is your right foot but if you can afford 50 a week then just do it. The rest of your cash can go on bits for the car!<br/> (quick not...

<t>Hi AJ,<br/> I've got the same model,black, late '83 but with the sunroof.<br/> It also has a bit of the same inside pass A post but only visible with the inside trim removed. Some of it was caused by water spraying up the back of the wheelarch, rusting through the vertical seam between inner wing...

<t>An easier/quicker way is to warm up until she'll tick over or wedge the pedal down a bit with a brick etc. then pull each plug cap off in turn using a thick rubber glove and/or insulated pliers. Use a twisting motion before and as you pull so you don't split the cap. When it goes onto two cylinde...

I did vote using the vote link but as has been revealed, it is possible to vote more than once with that method. Make sure you only reply once to either string! This way everyone can see who has voted. Seems like an open way to do it.

<t>I'll agree with turbo capri kid, PeterG2.8 & standard Man, I've looked at that mk 111 bonnet post three damn times today thinking it was a new post.It's showing as an unvisited link in my browser and with the order of the posts swapping around every visit I don't know where the hell I am.<br/...

<t>I did just that while off work due to the snow the other week, everything came off and was chipped. scraped and wirebrushed then after 2 coats red primer I used up some blue hammerite spray (2 coats) then changed to silver to make sure of coverage.<br/> I prefer the lighter colour so you can see ...

<t>I got zapped today with a worm/virus from what appeared to be a friendly source.<br/> Time to update your virus definitions,<br/> if you aren't using anti-virus software then download the freebie at grisoft.com<br/> also get a free firewall from zonelabs.com<br/> To swat up on the latest baddies ...

mine's seized completely in the white laser through lack of use but in my black one I only use the lift rather than the slide as it scratches the paint. It looks time consuming trying to make adjustments.

<t>'bought a couple of head gasget sets from Neville of GMS Capri Spares at a show sometime past, they're only a few quid each, maybe a tenner or so.<br/> All it costs me is time.<br/> If you can get a mechy mate to do it with/for you then you'll soon learn what's involved.Probably worth having a ma...

Saw a nice looking light blue MkI tonight, thursday,
cruising past as Rick was commentating outside Smithfield Market on a clip of the Rick Stein food prog. 'reckon the cameraman saw it coming and couldn't resist it - clip only lasted a couple of seconds as the car went by.

<t>unless you have a fancy compressed air adapter that fits in the spark plug hole to keep the valve closed as you compress the spring, remove collets, lift off spring and swap the oil seal, then I'm afraid it's a head off job.<br/> Don't try pushing bits of nylon cord down the plughole unless someo...

<t>buy/beg or steal a t-bar with long (6"+) extension to undo/refit the screws, it only takes seconds compared with a ring spanner. Locate especially the front 4 screws as tightening the side screws down first can make it a pig to get the 2 screws in their holes either side of the camshaft front bea...

<t>If they've sent you two Sorn Forms they maybe did it for a reason, what I'd do is fill one out for 2002 and one out for 2003 and send them back.<br/> SORNs don't cost anything and you've not been evading road tax because the car's not been used on the road.<br/> I'd like to think that they're jus...

<t>Best to bolt on all your goodies including new plugs and oil/filter then run it a while before spending dosh for the rolling road 'cause anything you fit or adjust afterwards will make the rolling tune-up a waste of money. One of the main things to get right is the timing, I bet these rolling tun...
