Capri Technical Forum:

V.good point. I'll check that tommorow. I've got a mate on the lookout for another weber. Do you think the VV will work till i can get it sorted?

It must be cos its been doin over 100 miles a day, a lot of it motorway. Very embaressing stuck in traffic as its a couple of minutes before it'll start again if you stall it. Have sit there reving it like a t**t to keep it going.

Hi all, Recently my 2.0 has been running worse to the point it won't idle 90 % of the time and then it does unexpectedly. I've tried setting carb up as per weber instructions and the haynes. I have just had it in bits to check jets etc, put it all back and now its even worse. You put your foot down ...

If you've been running it like that since the first post, its probably totaly FUBAR by now

Well I have studs on one door and holes on the other like the wings The moulding are past salvage i think They are bent, thanks partly to me and partly to kids. Only the door ones have survived.

Have you done a compression test?

Hi all, I took off the plastic moulding on my laser to have it blown over, but the studs have corroded away. I now have holes down the side of the car and cant get new trim for love nor money. I've been told filler won't do and they will need welding up but this will mean major bodywork which is out...

Well everything changed since last post and it still wanders. Guess i'll be living with it. It as the better of me

Thanks capri turbo

Hi all, Does anyone know the size/type of the tool for removing the head bolts on the pinto engine? Cheers, Danny.

Has anyone used the DIY kits you can get to convert standard struts to coilovers? How do you know how far down the strut to weld the threaded tubes

Cant help thinking the backgroung looks a familiar setting
Keep the pics coming! As far as i'm aware fog lights fall under the "if fitted, must be working" rule, if anyone can comfirm.

Outstanding work mate. I admire your determination and patience to be able to pull this off! Wish I had the space and time to do it myself...and a spare car..lol.

Search the old forum. On there the other day and there is a long thread about brake conversions if memory serves. Someone has posted a link to somewhere that may be of some help... either new master or recon. Just tried to search myself but server down at min. Hope this helps

Messed about, removed things one by one. Their is a kind of star washer behind the indicator cancelling thing. Either that or a collapsed bearing race.
It seems its allowing the shaft to rattle inside coumn. Does anyone know of a servicing kit you can get for a mk3 steering column?
