It's probably not the alternator. The problem is either the belt is being overtightened or one of the other belt-driven accessories is bad.

What you really want to do is have a technician remove the oil sending unit and attach a pressure gauge of known reliability. Only then can you know if your pressure is good or bad. If you have to change an oil pump, you can have problems reaching it. You may be able to find a Video or text online for your exact model. The Capri series covers a lot of Years and the engines may be different and one year may be a front wheel drive while an older one may be rear wheel drive. One of the biggest problem is having clearance to remove the oil pan. Sometimes in the closest clearances turning the crankshaft can help make room to drop the oil pan. Front wheel drive units can have a cradle which blocks pan removal. You need to find out the requirements for your exact year. The pressure test will help diagnose other problems. Bad bearings can leak so much oil that pressure will behave exactly like you describe.

Need more details. Could be fuel delivery (bad fuel pump or clogged fuel filter) or your coil went bad not sending a spark to the spark plugs. Start there and see what you find.

Hi, ther are two elements in each headlight bulb , one for high beam and one for low beam and your low beams are burnt out ,you will have to replace the bulbs to have low beams too , which you can get at the auto parts store, they are not very expensive or difficult to do .

local part store can give print out for free.just need vehicle information

You need to go to a repair shop with a Data Base

It will be called ALLDATA or Mitchel,Motor etc

Not all shops subscribe to that. Without it, they can not
repair much

If you ask, they will print what you need, the same as they would,
if they were working on your car and needed something

All depending on your climate, but for general everyday use 15w-40 from a good reputable manufacturer wil be more than adequate
