The Ford Capri Laser Page

My Capri is kind of back on the road but suffering from an annoying problem where It likes to cut out occasionally. I think i've pinned it down to when Its not warmed up but I cant be fully sure yet as I dont use it a lot. Its always seemed to suffer from it even when I got a few miles away from buy...

Someone way before me decided to smooth the front of the Car off and then add some Escort bumpers to the front... all that aside, they also seemed to add what I'm told are 5w side repeaters as indicators. I can tell you nobody can see these things flash when your coming towards them. Now the car is ...

Would like to see some pics of the different wheels Tom . Casually looking for some to replace mine with.

You've been busy :D . Always good to read about how someones car is improving. Nice work on the interior & glad you got the temperature gauge working. Remember rebuilding with a carb kit years ago, brought back memories of a kitchen smelling of petrol before I was blessed with a garage. I like ...

You say you would like to fit a set of Ghia wheels - well if you're interested I have a set of 4 with centre caps but no bolts that I would let go very reasonably. PM me if you're interested. Paul. Cheers Paul, Just PM'd you. Might not be the right time for me to do cosmetic spends but definitely i...

After this and with a Carb kit on the way anyway I took the Carb back off, stripped It down (except for the linkages) and give it a good blast with Carb Cleaner. All the jets got a clean, new gaskets, O rings and Needle Valves. IMG_0206.jpeg Screen Shot 2020-06-22 at 22.05.05.png Screen Shot 2020-06...

I havent replied here for a while. A lot has happened in the last few months and this car is finally on the road (ish). Since messing about with the top hose I ended up getting stuck into the brakes, Carb and Tappets in anticipation of the Car becoming Tax exempt in these coming weeks. The brakes. I...

I was told by martin when I changed my rear axle the rubber saddle pads arent needed for the single leaf springs. The Ghia interior looks the part and does look very good with the combination of vinyl roof, Mk2 bumper and the absence of the Mk3 lower side mouldings. Are you going to continue the Mk...

Right. I havent updated here in a while so here goes! The interior is pretty much finished!!! finally haha and i've pretty much sold all the old stuff now so very happy. Not something i would ever do again unless i really wanted to. I was excited when this turned up... and glad my misses was away. I...

Hi mate, all sold now sorry.

If anyone is interested i'd like get this interior out of here. I'd rather sell stuff together so its not handing around and would do the Seats & Door cards for £400 (£50 off) because of that.

Door Cards - £150
Door handles - £50 (drivers is not mint)
Carpet - £100
Front & Back Seats -£300

Hi Hamish, I wouldn't know how to go about sending this to NZ and packing it up so it doesnt get damaged etc. anyone got any ideas? probably £300?

I'll put a breakdown of everything separate bellow as i would like to get this stuff out of here now.

I replaced it over the summer but as the dash is out I’ll be checking it. Water seems to be dripping from the centre of the tunnel and running down either side ... it sits outside and we’ve had a ton of rain too so hard to decide

Hi Owen, I think you need the relay as Andrew says as they draw a bit of power. I've had Dixie Horns for years on my Escort mk3 and they have a relay and switch on the dash. The cheap ones i have you have to hold down the button for the whole cycle.. not sure if more expensive ones will complete the...

LET THERE BE LIGHT!!! finely got these working! plus the glovebox light too. Just need to order bulbs for the Fog Switch, Heated Window, Cig Lighter and Centre Clock! All these seem to be blown or just one in the clock worked. I've taken these clocks back out and will have a mess over Xmas week. I n...

Does anyone know what bulbs to buy for the Cig lighter , Clock and the Fog switch? Also can these be changed to LEDs and what colour should the be originally, mine are all blown/dim.

Cheers
Chris

So the wire to the taco goes round to the coil. This car has what i think is a sierra electronic ignition so i always thought that was to do with a 12v feed for it, as i guess it would have been points before this. IMG_5602.jpg Not really sure what to do with that... i guess i just re attach it? it ...

Got the dash out / dials to try and figure out why i'm getting no illuminations. I guessed it could have been the bulbs are so dark or gone they cant be seen. Turns out it does light up testing it with a 9v battery. I've replaced most of the bulbs with LEDs now so will plug it in tomorrow to test it...

About to do this conversion on mine as im taking the dashboard out anyway.. Bought some white LED's a fellow Capri owner suggested but, i might send off for some green ones. I've never pulled the cluster out before and i remember someone on facebook saying to watch the ammeter connections... im gues...
