Re: Alternator or brushes

Personally when something like this fails I prefer just to replace it, yes it is more expensive but as above once you start you will be replacing it all piecemeal over the next few months anyway and a shiny new one will come with a warranty for hopefully 24 months. But the best way to learn is to t...

Re: Heater hose connections

The water is going to flow through the matrix regardless. Don't think it's that essential to get them the right way round tbh.
If you swap them over it may even flush out 30+ years of crud. ;)

Re: A few questions for the floor.

Next best bolt-on is the front strut brace. Yup! Imagine looking at your Capri from the front. There are two vertical supports (the struts) and there's a lower horizontal support (x-member).

Martin (Bug) gave me a method once of putting the palm of your hand over the top of the carb and revving it briefly to suck/displace the crud. Might be worth a try, easy to do. To clarify, you need to rev it u...
