The Ford Capri Laser Page

I used to use a Oxy acetylene torch to heat the area around the centre hole a bit ,rust or not the drum was easily removed. Most of the fords I have owned had 2 threaded holes ( 1/4 unc ) in the drum, by screwing a suitable bolt , the end of which bears against the axle flange the drum can be "...

The thing that bugs me the most is my phone has more power than the Apollo mission computers ......but no instruction book, which you need to find out how to find out what you need to know.

Yeah, that makes more sense

There is some weird stuff going in the Capri wiring ,both tail lights opperate off different fuses Doen`t that make sense though, if they were on the same fuse and that blew you`d have no rear lights, whereas if they`re separate you`ll always have at least one? Well ,yeah ,when you say it like that...

There is some weird stuff going in the Capri wiring ,both tail lights opperate off different fuses . D336y looks to have provided some good info . Have a look as you will find things you wouldn't reasonably expect to find ....like the tail lights

You could use a light bulb for testing the circuit thus saving the cost of a 2nd horn that you may not need . I fitted a relay and air horns to mine as they were cheaper than a new ordinary horn ( yeah ,probly made in Taiwan but they make plenty of noise ).....the compressor is something else that l...

Not sure but I think that if the wire is off the strut they won't move off park. Beats me why they didn't just feed all the wires ( window heater Inc )thru the rubber hose thing at the top of the door . The wiper would still opperate with the hatch open but I can't see why that would be an issue.......

Ah yes , us brilliant men could but what about the Mrs ......spose that's why there is a magnet in the bottom of the gearbox

Awe ,now your just being silly

Larger plug gaps causes ignition to be retarded ? :python: me thinks your plug gap needs closing up a bit :poke: :xd: ,that's right up there with the misinformation mother's tell unruly kids about what's going to happen if they swallow Cherry stones or chewing gum,.....or don't eat their Brussel spr...

I was watching NZ's version of cops and robbers and the cops pulled over some chic ( I wouldn't have said no ) in a modern car because she had blacked out tail lights.....turns out she had removed the lens and wrapped them in black pantiehose (our girls are way to clever ), bastards ticketed her. Fa...

:agree: ,I use aerosol degreaser ( change the nozzle for a CRC one with the straw ) and give it a good blast alternating between degreaser and compressed air and you will get it pretty clean. Some times you have to be just a little to brave to pull fiddly things to bits. I read somewhere that a 50/5...

That's very helpful advice, thanks Mc!
In fact, as they are to go in the floor of the Capri, I'll search for "bottom plug" and see what turns up.....

Andrew.

I'm startin to "wonder" about some of you guys

Just search eBay for "body plug " hundreds there

Yes , very cunning ,2 shiney new clamps nicely draws your eyes away from the painted over rusty pipe :lol: I like your new signature message, but who looks? :? :lol: Andrew.

Perhaps it's different in NZ, they are 21W in the UK.

Andrew.

Yeah ,everything here is brighter mate

If it is 2 pin then it's load sensitive. Are all the bulbs working and of the correct wattage . Should be 22-25 watts for the main indicators and 10-12 watts for the side indicators (wee ones on the front guard if they are fitted ,)
