Has the dash fascia in your car already been modified ? Probably the vast majority have been Originally the dash fascia would have had a central rectangular cut out with spindle holes to left and right,to suit the way most stereos were made at the time. If the stereo ever went wrong and had to be me...

Are you saying that should be a bog standard process.

Indeed, its more like a whole big bag of spuds

I work on the basis that anyone who repeatedly acts alike a prat on you tube is best ignored. Others may disagree.

Back in the day the belief was that gas shocks tended to be better at MOT time. I never got to the bottom of whether that was because they actually lasted that much longer or just that any leaks would be less evident to the MOT tester.

There just seems to be an assumption made in the insurance industry that uninsured drivers aren't worth pursuing as they probably haven't got any money. I find that thinking odd as even if they are broke at the time they wont always be so there should be something put in place to collect money from ...

Is it a Pinto or a V4 ?

There is a massive amount of knowledge on Pintos, just about every aspect of this engine is both well documented and discussed regularly on a number of forums so there is always someone to help

Thanks for the link to PJ Covers, Ive ordered another cover and a lock. I first wondered if they had been put off taking the car as it had a cable into the house which they might have thought was to do with security (it was just to run a battery optimiser). But if that was the case they would have j...

Very odd. I got up this morning to find someone has nicked the Stormforce cover off my Capri in the drive. The car wasnt touched, in fact the dust sheet i had on the car between it and the Stormforce cover is still there sitting over the roof and tops of the doors. Whilst clearly relieved the car wa...

Well done for owning and improving this car.

Which part of Kent are you in, Im only wondering as there's the Capri 50 th coming up on 1st September in Dunton just over the bridge. Could be a good day out for you and your daughter to see a huge number of Capris.

Looks very decent for the money. Youve sold a few cars on here over the years, most have looked pretty good so this should be a good deal for somebody.

There was a very old post knocking around from someone who was drumming up interest on having a few sets made.

If anyone does make them Id be interested.

That green one is in a different league, looks good value

My advice is to get an MOT on it - it will make all the difference in the world. Unfortunately a lack of MOT does just end up putting off so many potential buyers. Although you know that it will pass easily and you only haven't had it done because there doesn't seem a point- thats not the way that a...

Thats an excellent result mate. Enjoy having a capri and dont forget to drop into the forum from time to time as many of us have been in the same position here.

There seems to be a certain type of seller who instead of looking around at comparables, taking advice from people on forums etc enthusiastically sticks their fhead in the sand and advertises their car for a ridiculous amount and often with a poorly worded ad that raises more laughs than interest. S...

For £ 250 for a new genuine Weber 38/38 (or £ 75 for a Chinese copy) it may just be worth replacing rather than laying out on labour to a garage.

As said, if in doubt try it with a borrowed carb and you will know straight away.

Ive only ever used cork ones but i cant see a problem if its rigid enough to stay in place whilst tightening
