The Ford Capri Laser Page

Hi,
Well done on getting the car started.
You know that's an effective anti-theft system when even the owner can't start the car!

Hi,
I really feel for you, what a terrible situation to be in!

Hi,
The photo was a fitting tribute and respects have been paid. However, it's now time to move on. How about featuring a different forum member's car each month instead?
All the best,
Andrew.

Hi all Where's the best place to get panels for the Mk3? I have been looking for a scuttle panel for a while but nobody makes new ones. Is there a place that does typical repair panels?

Hi,
Thanks Mike,
That made me chuckle, I've experienced a few of those situations before.....
Is anyone unlucky enough to be able to check off all of the list?
Andrew.

Don't want noises sounding like my car is run on guinea pigs in a wheel thank you. Hi, They help reduce the fuel consumption though! ;) Is the squeaking noise coming from the alternator, water pump or belt?

It could save a lot of wasted time and frustration.
