I haven't got mine to hand Nick, but I'm sure it would give a torque setting in the Haynes manual. I would guess it would be around 30nm which is what it is on my Skoda.

I think it depends on age as when the Capri was young the nuts would have been tighter but now some of them are over 50 the nuts tend to be lose ! I am sure that’s what my dad said :lol:
