Great photos, sometimes a photo is just the best thing for a description.

Any tips for removing 36 year old ones and refitting them after painting?? New ones look like they are going to be expensive!

Check the dizzy end float too, they are not supposed to have much but ive seen them with 2mm or so

Good to know! Only last year did i replace a pair of £10 Focus DIY ones i bought when they close down, many years ago. Its a fatmax one which seems ok, again only paid £10 for it.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Do you mean M8x1.25? Or the imperial would be 5/16 UNF i think. But i have a feeling they should standard M8 (m8x1.25) not sure on lentgh though, that may vary depending on which hole it fits? Sorry i cant be more specific! Actually now im starting to wonder if they are larger but with non standard ...

Yes Peter that looks alot better!

Did you have any luck finding one?

Hi all, im after the black plastic surround that fits around the time clock on the mk3 centre console. I only need the surround. There is one on but id like to try and find one in better condition, anyone got a spare kicking around?

Thanks everyone, i had seen those on ebay but wasnt sure if to trust them. Just this morning i found some on burtons website, the cheapest ive found and from a reputable supplier so i may get them from there.
Thanks!

Hi all! Does anyone know of alternative rear seat belt reels and straps/stalks that fit the mk3? I cant seem to find them (ebay has had the odd ones but they seem expensive for a mouldy old belt!) Has anyone found an alternative? Does their orientation matter? Mine is an 85 but didnt come with them ...

Have you tried turning the steering to full lock in the direction that moves the tie rod towrds the rack on that side? I seem to remember doing that to get the bolt in on mine a few months ago. It still rubs the gaitor though so mind you dont tear it!

The rear washer jet springs to mind, as a place for water to get in or maybe a split in the pipe and so leaking when used?
The sunroof / drain could also be a source but im unsure of the route the pipes take?

Happy Birthday Peter!

Hi everyone i can't find the coolant expansion / overflow bottle / tank anywhere! Anyone got a spare?
Thanks!

Hi everyone im after a rev counter / tacho face to replace mine. I had to remove the 20+ year old white vinyl dials as they had blistered and creased up. All cleaned up ok except the rev counter where the black face has faded / dulled and has swirls all over it. I have considered replacing the white...

Removing the metal clip did the trick, although getting that back in place after was difficult, it was definately easier than not removing it. I initially didnt want to remove it as it goes down a log way behind the plastic tabs and i was concerned at how far the tabs would need to bend away to allo...

What your describing used to be a soft thin sponge. I have recently tackled the same job. I replaced the sponge with 3mm thick self adhesive closed cell foam sheet. I used 'sticky stuff remover' to get down to the metal surface, de-rusted, painted and applied foam to both sides, trimmed the edges an...

Hi everyone work is continuing on the capri. Im currently at the stage of trying to fit a new replacement (non genuine) throttle cable but am struggling to get the square end into the metal bracket that bolts to the inlet manifold (pinto engine) Ive already lightly filed the square hole in the brack...
