Has anybody actually seen a Capri with factory fitted A/C though?

As an aside, my Hayne's Manual makes no mention of air conditioning equipment.

Hi Andrew, i know one down here in south Spain, factory fitted AC in a late 2.8 and I have to say it cools great!!!

Thank you for your answer Wayne. I can see. I bought the car 7 years ago in an abandoned state. Ive restored every single bolt and nut and it runs great, but that damn vibration is driving me mad. As the previous owner told me, crap conv. swaped the pinto for and EFI, and fitted powersteering. So, i...

Hello guys. Im back working on the capri and ive retaken the vibration problem. Ive realized that the propsahft that is on my capri, is the CV centre joint one, that I have red that they belong to the 2.8 v6. As mine is a 2.0 pinto, it seems to me that the yoke, isnt going in far enough in the gearb...

Thank ypu for ypur replys. Mc tool, I checked the exhaust system and it doesnt touch. That was changed too, to a sportex system, and it vibrated with both original and sportex. Swishy, thats quite interesting, I did have to machine the drums once because they didnt pass MOT. I think I will change sh...

Thank you for your answer john. Im very happy with the prop, its taken all the vibration fron 30mph to 80 that i had. About the tyres, I agree, and specially in this profile not using much the car, they deform quickly. But ive tryed 3 diferent set of wheels, 1 set original 13x6 rs wheels, 1 set of r...

Hello again guys I had the propshaft balanced. it was a little unbalanced, they did a great job. I picked it up today and fitted it. But.... The vibrations I had from aprox 50 to 80 mph have dissapeard. from 0 to 80 smoothe as a new car. But suddently I hit 80 and the huge vibration is still there :...

Hello. I have a nasty vibration in my capri since I bought it 6 years ago. I have been restoring ot since then, with not so much driving, but now that Im finishing it I cant get rid of this vibration. When I first bought it, it started vibrating very bad at 70mph aprox. under that speed ist not that...

I had the same problem, 1,6 axle 2,0 engine ans wrong speed dialing. I got a 1,6 speedo gear from burtons, and solved the problem.

Thanks guys, Yes the car is a RHD, and it had a power steering conversion done by the previous ower. Yesterday I opened up the rack, and its quite badly worn. The bearings that go in the pinion have plenty of playe due to the worn shaft. I spoke to http://www.steering-racks.co.uk/spares/ but they ne...

Hello Andrew, Tickover sayed they need the old one. I am waiting the reply from CCI. Thank you, The shipping costs me arround 50 euros, and to get 70 punds off, I prefer keeping it as a spare, although they couldnt fix it, they left the new gaiters, and seals. An other thing that is going through my...
