Thanks for replying guys, this cheesed off feeling started a couple of weeks ago, I had a perfect plan, book 1 day off from work, try and pick a day where the weather was expected to be good, take my Capri for MOT (which had expired last November) and go for a nice drive out somewhere, perfect plan....but in reality when I got to the garage where I keep her I found the clutch had seized, so up she went on axle stands and after a few attempts the clutch freed off happy days - or so I thought, I then discovered a rear wheel cylinder had also seized - solid, after lots of cursing I eventually managed to get the drum off and free the cylinder off, I then drove her to the MOT station who's entrance was blocked by a truck making a delivery and was told the truck would be moving in 5 minutes I could then have my MOT done, well...... the truck broke down blocking the entrance - it took 16 men including myself to push this truck out of the entrance, my car did pass it's MOT but time was getting on now so instead of going for that drive I promised myself I took the car straight back to the garage parked her up, shut the door and thought thank god that's over and I haven't been back since, I realize the seized items on the car are totally my fault through lack of use but for me owning/driving these cars was meant to be fun...just not sure where the fun disappeared to...
