Re: V6 Essex Top Hose

Take off the rad end first and some coolant will leak out but not too much. Then change hose and just top it up. It shouldn't be necessary to drain the whole system just to change a top hose. When you have finished the job pour some clean water over any spillages just to wash the anti freeze off an...

Capri Mk2 II - Roman numeral tailgate decal

Hoping someone can help me locate a place to buy the tailgate decal for a Capri Mk2 in the UK?
There appears to be someone on eBay selling them but they are in the USA.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks guys.

Re: Roof Bars

There is a universal roof rack system, made by sea sucker, which uses sucker pads to stick to your car body. Apparently they are very good but expensive. Although I believe Rockbros do a cheaper version. https://www.halfords.com/motoring/roof-bars-roof-boxes/roof-box-accessories/seasucker-monkey-bar...

Mk2 Front Wiper Arms

Hi, wanted to ask the Capri owners in the know a question... I have a Mk2 Capri S that ever since I’ve owned it has exposed nuts (snigger) at the base of the wiper arms. Now, for the life of me I can’t find any Ford covers for these, so wondered if anyone else might have these same wiper arms on the...
