Here's the one I had. Loved it to bits. Usual HVAC error which I ignored. Suspension was fine. As Cooper 1 said only had to rebuild the compressor which was cheap and straightforward. I think it was on about 180k??  before it was scrapped. The top hose failed, so I replaced all of thise, then the thermostat want and the engine was cooked. The engine cooked it self in the middle of my gates so I didn't have far to get home! If that hadn't happened I would still have it. I would definitely have no issues in getting another. I would say get the 4.6 rather than the 4.0lt (mine was 4.0lt). 

In winter I used to wear a sheepskin coat so I felt like a 3rd division football manager in it! 

Good week in my household. Monday son passed his driving test 1st time. Tuesday daughter passed her dtiving test 1st time. Wednesday I got given this:

Result! It's only done 192k miles!! The history file is an inch thick and there are some eye watering bills in there. She is an absolute peach and a credit to the gent who gave it to me.

Family friend used to have the 6.9 version of this. He thought it was ok on fuel until he replaced it with a 4.6lt Range Rover. Not the most fuel efficient but it made him realise how bad the merc was! 

Hello,
We've got to move AS off the existing host in the next few weeks so going to need an extended period of downtime to get this sorted. Weekend of the September (this month!) 19th and 20th is the date this is all going down.
I hope it won't take ages but from midnight on Saturday 19th (the start of saturday, rather than end) anything you were in the middle of posting might get lost. Not entirely sure when it'll be back up but i'll post something here when its safe to start posting again, tenatively hopeful for mid-afternoon saturday but if it all blows up it might slither into sunday.

5 years and 11 months to the day I bought it and the Capri has passed its MoT. Hundreds of hours of welding and mechanical work but thankfully not much cash and I now have a Capri on the road for the first time in 30 years.
