The Ford Capri Laser Page

Hi Neil,
Check the location of all Capri clubs on this map:

I think that this map is up to date, and the Kent club is still listed.

Andrew.

I believe you've got the hang of that now!

And you're probably right about Santa Pod!

Andrew.

Yes, that's it.
If you're really naughty you can change the quote completely.

Thanks,

Like that!

Should be no play at all in the cv joint. It will cause judder on power take up. Hi Martin, Thanks for your reply. I have been experiencing that, but assumed the problem there was with the clutch. Hmmm, you might just be on to something... I guess a call to Capri Gear is in order tomorrow.:) Andrew.

Would have been my first meet as well but hope to be able to pop along to another meet. Hi Nick, Pardon me for barging in, but this is a good website for planning which shows to go to: http://www.classicshowsuk.co.uk/ There may be some good shows that are local to you that you didn't know about, bu...

I was a bit confused why you were being so insulting about the floor in the room where the cooking is done belonging to elliecharlie2008 :lol: :lol: :lol: :oops: Hopefully most people will realise it was the forum filter that changed the word. I wasn't being rude, it's a perfectly nice floor in the...

Hi Steve, Thanks for your reply. To quote Mr. Haynes, it's a "two piece tubular, with two Hardy-Spicer type universal joints and one constant velocity centre joint, centre support bearing". Just to clarify, the 2.8 prop is in two parts. The front part has a flange on the end which connects...

Hi Everyone, Can anyone tell me if there is supposed to be a small amount of play in the centre bearing of the propshaft? When I push the rear part by the joint here: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d200/me_and_the_major/Rubbish/20140610_160104_zps44f1bcf3.jpg There is some play and a 'click' soun...

I watch out for smoke signals from the neighbouring villages!

That spam filter has kicked in again! You know what I mean, the floor of the room in the house where the cooking is done.

Andrew.

Hi,
Also, seeing the wiring loom on the kitchen floor shows how intricate the loom is for such a basic car, in terms of electrical equipment!

Andrew.

I don`t believe that`s true - if it`s all working they`re perfectly balanced. In 30 years mine has never pulled (to the side that is :lol: ) I agree with that. The car should track and brake in a straight line if all is well. I doubt that the power steering rack imbalance is contributing to the car...

Hi,
Looks like a great meet, loads of fantastic cars.

Face what? We don't have any of that new-fangled stuff in our house!

Hope you have a great meet,
Andrew.

Hi, The power rack imbalance can be adjusted. Check out this other thread: http://www.fordcapriforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=41409&hilit=power+steering+adjustment The important bit is reproduced here for your benefit! :) No need to go to that site, it's all here..... The following art...

Now I know this may sound like a pretty darn silly question but I gonna take a risk of being lynched and come right out and ask it.... Sometimes in life you just have to be brave and ask away ! Hi Nick, There's no such thing as a silly question. There's stuff you already know and if you don't know ...

Very sad to hear of the loss of Rik Mayall. R.I.P.

Hi again Neil, You may be interested to know that there should be a paper build sheet from the factory taped to one of the rear seat backrests. It's on the back underneath the carpeted bit. If the seats in the car are original the details on here will match the details on the plate on the slam panel...

Hi John, Looks like you've had a fantastic day, thanks for uploading the pics. As usual, an excellent standard of cars. You always go to the best shows! :) There are too many favourites to list, but I think there can only be one candidate for 'best in show'.....Mr Zakowski's motor! :) All the best, ...
