    Very informative Dave. Whilst i do possess mechanical knowledge of cars in general, i have never once thought about servicing or modifying the clocks...too scared that i might have messed up! This would've been useful to know about, when i modified a Series 3 Land Rover, that had a Rangie 3.5 litre V8 engine, Rangie 3.7 to 1 ratio differentials and 31 inch 11.50 tyres fitted. The speedometer was out by 33%! I had no idea how to correct that then....so i just remarked the speedo face to roughly where the correct speeds were! I could've just done this instead!

    Another cracking job there Dave. You make it look so easy. Some of the Capris had not a dissimilar rear seat. Maybe a bit late now but I would have considered running some swages (I think that's the right term ) across the flat panels for rigidity and preventing potential drumming.

Obviously you can get much better battery lighting now so it's been a long time since I used it like that. There used to be 2 but one got dropped and the glass broken a long time ago.
