Hi Terra sorry for the late reply a friend of mine who lives locally made the banded steels.. He currently runs a mk1 escort Mexico replica, working on an mk1 rs2000 escort and a mk1 Capri project.. Does some quality work too! http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a532/itsryansparrow/A2316F1E-62D2-443...

Really appreciate all the advice everyone.

Will be doing the ignition coil and taking the advice will also replace the points and condensor - hopefully this will be the issues fixed.

Haven't replaced the condenser or points - will look into this My next step at the moment is replacing ignition coil tomorrow.. Hope this will be the fix I'm hoping for.. especially based on the link below http://www.doityourself.com/stry/6-symptoms-of-ignition-coil-failure I get the feeling compres...

Hoping you might be able to help - recently been having a fair amount of trouble with my 1.6 Capri, running standard pinto engine with a weber carb. A while ago it began to start cutting out when sitting at stand still for too long then started cutting out when sitting still for not long at all and ...

Any help appreciated here - my Capri has been idling very badly when warm recently - sometimes it's okay then other times its on the verge or cutting out or does cut out always starts back up though.. Also when I'm braking to a stop at a junction it will start to cut out on occasion. Recently had an...

I've owned and been driving my Ford Capri on a daily basis for 7 months now, including my 20mile drive to work and back up the M27/M3 In this time I've managed to hear the story about "the friend of mine who used to put paving slabs in the boot to keep it from spinning out." At least six t...

Hoping someone can help me, I'm looking to get rid of my standard ford air filter and looking at purchasing a K&N filter from eBay however unsure which one I'm looking for to fit my 1981 1.6 Capri. Running a weber carb too. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RC-0650-K-N-CHROME-AIR-FILTER-TRIUMPH-HERALD-1...

Has anyone taken out the facia and dials or can tell me how to go about this, I've bought a new facia to replace my current one which is looking a little knackered, also I need to take the speedo dial out to attach the speedo cable, reaching up underneath the steering wheel isn't working. And one ot...

I got these banded steels made up by a friend of mine.. although slightly more than £70 per wheel I really like the finish. http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a532/itsryansparrow/EB0CBF7B-D371-4EEA-B7FF-BC02A338F6C6-2806-0000028439E0A35B_zps072e2a4d.jpg http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a532/itsr...

All this time I've been driving around in my 1981 1.6 thinking its non interference, didn't realise it was based on engine size.

Currently having these made up by a friend of mine ready for January http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a532/itsryansparrow/748D5A3C-4C72-4A5D-B05A-586FCAEE7BE4-2922-00000372E61E6AA9_zpseee47874.jpg http://i1282.photobucket.com/albums/a532/itsryansparrow/DA97CD88-5A0F-4D17-A07F-FE3E8C2470FD-2922-00...

Hoping someone can help, firstly I recently had to replace my speedo cable as the previous one snapped, I've fitted the new one however for whatever reason it keeps falling out, I'm attaching the cable to the back of the speedo as you're supposed to and it feels as though it's properly attached howe...

They are, because most Capris will be Lasers. The vast majority of earlier cars have been scrapped leaving later models which have had less winter salt & crashes. 2.8i 's will probably be a close second because being a more expensive car would have been looked after better, dealer service, gara...

Does anyone have these for sale in reasonable condition? Looking to fit to my MK3

My Capri is a 1.6L non sunroof model too

More snaps of my 1.6L which I've now been using as a daily driver including 20mile drive to work and back 5 days a week. Also driven to Croyde in Devon and back to Southampton as well as Torquay in Devon and back in the 4 months or now owned her. Great reliability since I've owned her too not bad fo...

Hi I'm going to attempt to fit a new speedo cable today as the old one stopped working, I'm not a mechanical expert but I've got my Haynes manual! I was just wondering do I need to jack the car up to fit the cable and will I need to remove the dials or can I unscrew the panel underneath the dials to...
