Thanks heavens she was alright.

+1 for a household CO detector

il see what i can do as the car is parked right outside my front door at present. What measurements do you need

Having nothing to compare it against apart from a 20 year old memory of driving my last one I've just assumed my 2.8 engine is doing what it should as it seems to run ok but this has made me want to check what i can to make sure the injection system is all working as efficiently as it should. From y...

It would be very interesting to see how it has progressed since the last post. Looking at this I realised I dont know much about the LS spec cars at all other than it seemed a replacement for both the L and the GL, had unique steel wheels but many custmers took the option of the 4 spoke wheels that ...

Many thanks Mike, PM replied. Part sourced. superb

For some reason my old one would only flash the headlights when indicating left or right. I only realised whilst I was replacing my dash panel bulbs a couple of days ago.

You know, people drove cars like this around throughout the 60's, 70's, 80's, and no one bothered or cared about how bright the lights are, they were perfectly fine, as I feel that they still are to be honest. Now all of a sudden they're not good enough and we need them brighter to be like a modern...

I have changed my dash bulbs to LEDs now. I found the type in the first link were quite difficult to make fit in the Capri dash as they have a shoulder around the bulb which is as wide as the holder. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10X-T10-W5W-501-194-Xenon-White-Blue-LED-Side-Interior-Number-Plate-Light-...

Does anyone have a spare indicator stalk assembly knocking around they can sell me please. part numbers from the damaged one are 76EG13335AA and 818301 and G48190 It has to be from 1979 on as the earlier stalk looked similar but were wired differently so wont work with the later loom. ---now sorted ...

It looks in superb condition.

What is the long term report on that new 32/36 carb you fitted a while back by the way ? Did you need to change the jets to get it running right or was it pretty much there out of the box ?

Tickover got back to me today to say the only way they managed to quieten down one of these was to cut the pipes near the front to fit a pair of extra front silencers. In the meantime someone is selling a good 2nd hand standard exhaust on Ebay for £ 100 which just needs clamps and hangers. Wondering...

Thanks for looking Andrew.

I was wondering if a pair of these might help http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262446244139? ... Tags=bu=bu

Many thanks guys. I will look out for changing to 2" rear boxes.

The PO put a new Sportex exhaust on my 2.8i not long before I bought it. Frankly the exhaust is a bit too noisy for me and though I know its an non baffled system I cant help thinking the 3" tailpipes each side are responsible for much of the sound. I know someone who put an internal sleeve int...

[quote]ford capri 280 alloys wanted [/quote Reece Ive taken several photos of the wheels at your request and in terms of price suggested you start with a price somewhere near the values these have changed hands on Ebay. After several PMs and emails from you consisting of very short sentences asking ...

Thats not bad. Are the Nankangs grippy enough for performance use ?

its surprising how much price difference there is between different tyre sizes even for the same brand. You'd have to pay just over double that for a set of 205 60x 13s for the injection/ injection special.

thanks

Still no idea who it is we are supposed to be avoiding. :?: Though this is discrete and perhaps a kindness to the actual supplier regarded as rude and unhelpful it does though cast a shadow over all the other known suppliers as people speculate who it applies to and run through a list of possibles i...

Thanks Peter,. Ive just had an IM offering one.

V6 Capris came with strengthening sections in the inner wings. Have these been added to your Laser ?
