Introducing CoD - Capri of Dreams
Hi Guys, I'd just like to say a massive thanks for the general help and tips and also the forum being here as a good reference for all things Capri. I've learned a lot since buying my car in 2011 (on that fateful day - when it broke down driving it home!). I've been through 3 engines in the car and ...

Re: bits and bobs
Hi There,
I'm just rebuilding my Capri at the moment and hope to get it MOT'd next week, I took the centre console apart on mine 2 years ago! and some parts have never reappeared so I would be interested in some pictures, if the clock is there and prices - also is it grey, brown or black ?

At the s...

Re: For Sale/Good Home: Pinto's
Hi Guys,
last chance on this.. i'm talking a tenner a engine here, otherwise they'll be scrapped and melted down this weekend
It probably sounds silly but every melted down pinto is a pinto less to the world and i think it's a shame to have to do that
Cheers

Re: PINTO EXHAUST NEEDED ASAP.
Looks identical to mine, things to watch out for are incorrect fitting and it will rub on the back offside tyre, also it can hit the back axle if not enough clearance is left.
As for noise mine is very VERY loud haha!
