Re: Condensation damage
Us UK Service yobs did the same thing.
Fitted neatly in your webbing pouch, stopped your mess tins rattling and was big enough to dry the only bits you had time to wash.

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). But what stops the strut towers trying to move in and out? Nothing. Complete that square with a strut brace ...

Re: Brake caliper.
If a calliper is still sticking slightly it can need a few revolutions of the wheel to push the pad back off the disc. So when you brake to a stop then leave the car, the pad sticks to the disc and can make a noise when you first drive off. Not always possible, but if you can, try braking almost to ...

Re: Big hesitation.
Crud in the carb maybe? It can move around meaning the car can randomly run fine, or not. 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...

Re: I put fizzy mineral water in my washer bottle.
Back in the 80's the RAF lads based in Germany used to put cheap vodka in the washer bottle in the winter as it was cheaper than the anti-freeze stuff!

Well that's the new seals fitted not as hard as I thought. Caliper refitted,now the fun starts bleeding the brakes with the help of the wife when up means down and down means up in her world. Did you get them bled ok? The old-fashioned pump up and down can be problematic if you push the pedal all t...
