Oh yeah it is a mk2 what a tw&t!! cheers mate!!

Heres a pic of one of the wheels nothing special but better than the specials!

Starting to look like a right pain in the arse!! money wise any way!! I will look into this and weigh up my options. Cheers for the advice!!

so possibly then the wheels may not rub the arches being 16inch? I will get some spacers and hope it don't rub and drive like a pig!!

Probably looking at 20mm plus at a guess so studs too?

Seen 2 spacers and studs on ebay for about £25 will do it - depending on the space I need!?

Ahh right! What if I was to put lower profile tyres on them? instead of the 55 profile? Just a thought!

Hello all, I bought a scrap mk3 m-o-n-d-e-o (dont know why it wont let me post the word m-o-n-d-e-o)to strip and sell the parts and the wheels are 16 inch 5 spokes original ford wheels but better than the 13 inch specials on my Capri so I put the back wheel on which was fine but the front wheel hits the strut well the tyre does so I'm a bit annoyed at the mo! My question is can I do anything about it so it will fit? the tyre width is the same as the special wheels 205's I'm sure I have seen 17" rims on 2.8 Capri???

Anyone in need of a downloadable online workshop manual for the 2.8 here it is http://files.capri.pl/library/manuals/c ... i-1981.pdf no idea how I stumbled on this I have been searching for days!!

Does anyone have a guide or a picture/scan of a Haynes manual for adjusting tappets on the 2.8? I want to adjust them hopefully in the next few days so I could do with a guide from start to finish, last time I done tappets was about 16 years ago on a mini! Bit skint at mo so I cant go out and buy a manual (mortgage payment time!) and just want to get on with it while I'm off work for a week and kids off school. I might as well give the engine a good clean and spray some parts chrome while I'm in there! I can get to the tappets fine and I know firing order and the gap sizes on the feel my gauge! so just a refresh really! pics work great!! Hope you can help??

It did seem a bit of a dodgy listing!!

As above, Are these really worth this much?? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT

Ahh right! I see, I will do that soon as..

Today I replaced the gearbox mount which made no difference to the vibration so Ive checked all the plugs, dissy etc, inside the dissy theres a copper wire coil with a fabric around it, this fabric is broken so probably not a good thing? Also when engine is off the viscous fan I can spin but not smooth then it gets jammed using force to release it, I can shake fan blades left and right about half inch could this be the problem with vibration??

Bugger... I have already done it! About a litre? What would happen mixing the two?
