Capri thermostat problem
Thanks for letting me join! My newly acquired 91 turbo Capri runs warm. It sits just on the cusp of the thermo fan cutting in and out at rest in traffic. I think I need a cooler thermostat or a hi flow standard one. Also, where is it housed and is it a tricky job to get at? Any advice much appreciated, cheers Jess

Hi Jess and
You may have to help us out here unfortunately. The Capri left this little island some 5 years earlier and there would be little chance the engines we are familiar with here are the same as what you received in 1991 as Ford had moved on from those older lumps.
What engine do you have in yours ? There probably is some crossover with a European engine. But a hunch says that it was a US engine and we may not be so clued up here on the US styles and configurations, so to speak.

Hi Jess, Welcome to the Capri forum
I am guessing you have a Mercury Capri like this one

All the best

It's a Mazda 323 underneath, so probably best asking on a Mazda forum
