The Ford Capri Laser Page

Thank you Steve. I am glad I asked as I always like to know what to expect with a job I have not undertaken before, and as said I did wonder why I had two gaskets. I did not realise there was a spacer block but that now explains why when looking at it I did think it was sitting quite proud off the e...

Hi chaps, Just need a bit of advice please. When replacing the fuel pump on my Pinto do I only need to use one gasket when fitting it as I seem to have been supplied with two identical ? The other one I am guessing must have been thrown into the box in error ? Also should I smear just a thin coat of...

Thanks for the heads up Nick. I have noticed the Castrol GTX has reappeared on Asda shelves, (was priced at £13 I think last time), but it's labelled up at £21 in my local store. I need to check that now though! Hi Paul. Definately worth bringing a tub to the till to check the price mate. As said a...

Nice one Rob. Cheers fella

I used 'forever black' rubber cleaner & dye on spoiler, took 2 coats but came out nice. Hi Rob, Thanks for your reply mate. Is this the stuff you used mate ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Forever-Black-Bumper-Trim-Dye-Kit-Restore-Faded-Bumpers-Vinyl-or-Rubber-/230751580236?hash=item35b9ddb04c:m:mdb...

Hi mate, a belated :welcome: to the forum :) Thanks for uploading the pics of your Laser. Nice one fella ! Looks very nice indeed. Good luck with whatever you plan to do with it but it certainly looks very tidy indeed. Lovely colour too. As said this is a really friendly place, great bunch of folk h...

Hi Rob, Fella your 2.8i Special is looking simply superb mate. Wow ! You certainly have been busy recently, but as has been said your attention to detail is simply stunning. I really love the colour mate. Looks dam fine ! Rob your interior is absolutely spot on ! Those seats are lovely, as is the da...

Hi all, Popped out and about today to source some service parts for the Laser and visited Halfords to buy a couple of oil filters (one to have on the garage shelf). I have used their filters before and found them absolutely fine. Used a Mann one last oil change but again found it difficult to find a...

Hi chaps, As title..... Went into my local Asda Superstore this afternoon to buy some Castrol GTX after all the other places I tried only seem to stock the 1Lt tubs priced between £7.99-£9.99. They could order in the 4Lt tub but as I was out and about today wanted to try to pick one up today. Rememb...

Hi Peter, As has been said sorry to hear this mate. Its a shame you did not have that "spare" engine you were telling us about in the back of your 2.8i along with all the other parts you normally have "lying around" in your boot :) Hope you get it sorted soon mate and a good job ...

Glad you enjoyed the visit Nick, I was really pleased that the two of you made the effort to pop by. Likely to be the first weekend in July next year too, I'll keep you posted Thanks Peter, you were all very welcoming indeed so very much appreciated. Yep please keep me posted on next year...I am al...

"Ground control to Major Tim......" Doesn't have the same ring to it! :lol: :sorry: Nick, had to be done! :D Cheers Andreas :lol: I have ammended my error. Hopefully "Tim" did not notice :) All the best Nick This reminds me...I must charge up my Tim Tim for my next journey :lol:...

I didn't realise you weren't staying the evening or I'd have hung around and chatted more before heading to the pub. Cheers Tom. Dont worry fella. I should have mentioned it was just a "visit" rather than "stay", anyway mate if I had a choice of chatting to me or going to the pu...

P.S. Nick. What you doing tomorrow??? :lol: :lol: :lol: Cleaning my windscreen wiper blades and checking them for wear and tear ! They must be filthy after yesterday :cry: I am afraid to open the bonnet today John in case I find a dead salmon or trout caught in my fanbelt after that monsoon we drov...

Yep, you heard it...I actually used my wipers today.. :shock: :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Good to hear that you had a great afternoon meeting all the forum members at CRaP. What a great line up of Capris, and other Fords, too. I see Dan's still rocking the bumperless rear look! Thanks A...

Hi all, Just got back from spending a few hours up at CRaP, and had a fantastic afternoon. I convoyed up with John which was brilliant in itself. I can only speak for myself but I just wanted to thank everyone for making me feel so welcome as I was a bit apprehensive at meeting some of the "lon...

Good Morning. If any of you read this I hope you all had a great evening last night. Just to let you know that myself and John will be convoying up today to say hello to you all. Sorry for the late notice but just I got back from Caravan holiday last night so was not really expecting to make it this...

I don't even like football, so I won't mention the result of tonight's match. Hi Andrew. What a tremendous result for the Welsh fella...3-1...wow ! Very well deserved too. They were brilliant :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: Ermmm.....I am sure my great great great great great grandfather was welsh :w...

Hi chaps, Been down in Winchelsea, nr Rye with the missus this week staying in a caravan. Yesterday we were out driving though the countryside when this road sign popped up on a single track lane in the middle of the countryside. Just had to take a picture of it....even though Mrs Fordoholic Nick wa...
