Christmas for the Capri

Post by Peter-S »

The 2.0 got its Christmas prezzie today when I finally found time to fit the new alternator. It also got a new starter as the alternator seller was doing a combined deal for the two. Its an uprated starter which seems to spin over noticeably quicker than the old one which should help if temperatures drop.

Hi Peter,
It's always a great feeling when you have the chance to screw on some nice new shiny bits. :D
Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Andrew.
