Capri Technical Forum:

Thanks mate!

Hi all, are mk2 struts the same as mk3 as i am looking at one which says
"FORD CAPRI MK2 1.3/1.6/2.0 1976 on FRONT RIGHT HAND SIDE , SUSPENSION STRUT WITH NEW INSERT"
I thought 76' on would be mk3.
Cheers, Danny

Managed to get it off :D . ended up clamping the pulley with mole grips. (it also helped no end knowing it was left hand thread :wink: cheers peeps)Put the metro fan in top left hand corner of rad and boy does it shift some air. Strangely though, concidering it moves 10 times more air than the visco...

I've tried the normal way and it wont budge. Gonna try left hand in morning

Thanx for the quick reply!
There is a nut behind the viscous bit but it seems i need 2 pairs of hands to stop everything turning. The missus will go mad when she see's all the oily hand prints on the laptop

Hi all, I have been given an electric fan to try and sort the overheating probs in traffic. I have managed to get the plastic blades off the viscous fan but can't get the midddle bit off the shaft. It just spins independently of everything else. I've removed a coil type spring from the middle thinki...

I asked for that.lol. What I meant to ask was are they worth having for road use. Cheers Spookie

Well i just fitted new pads and the braking side has cleared up......But it still wanders left (at least it brakes in a straight line now). Theres only the strut tops and roll bar bushes left to check i think. If it aint either of them I need a bin big enough to get car in!!!

Mine has done same. If you drive car for 20 miles it just creaps out of reserve. Wiggled wires on sender and it went up but it keeps happening.

Thanks. I'll check them out when I can get at it, as waiting to get it back from spray shop

Nice one. Cheers spookie.

Its going for a spray on monday so ill have to book it in again for when the wing is fitted. So frustrating!

Just ordered a wing off Hadrain panels after seeing the v8 kid recommend them. Hope this one fits

Hi all Have just fitted a passenger side pattern wing as car is being sprayed next week. It looks awfull :!: Doesn't fit well at all. In a desperate attempt to make it look something like a capri again I noticed that the passenger door is about 1/4inch higher than the drivers at the front i.e it doe...
