A start to a thread which will then likely have a big gap!
Before I start on the Focus first I need to get this Capri out of the garage! Sat there for the best part of 20 years in a wet garage then towed to my dry one a couple of years ago.
1.6 (petrol) obviously.
I've fitted a new battery, remade the battery terminals and swapped the ignition barrel from another Capri as this one wouldn't turn / I had the wrong key!
Got dash lights and the one remaining headlight works.
Ditched the immobilizer and shorted the two blacks but no sign of her firing. Not even a click at the turn of the key. Thinking starter solenoid. Looking forward to my next snatched few minutes in there between DIY & kids homework!
Got some odd leccy ignition set up too with like a Maltese Cross aka bite alarm under the distributor cap in place of points. Whether the aftermarket leccy ignition module is any good still...
