Sez one of the only people on the planet who's capri doesn't need tinkering with. Nick , as a charitable act I think you should let other people have an unsupervised tinker with your capri. :xd: :lol:

I find tinkering always means spending lots of money, there is always something you end up wanting to buy. :lol:

I also have two MG's, and there is always something I'm wanting to buy. :o

I did think that, then I just decided to change the TRE because the ones on it are rusted to buggery anyway so I've got some on order! Should be here tomorrow I think so will give it another go when they get here and the weather isn't shite!
