Latest News April 2026
When the clocks went forward at the end of March, it was time to think about getting the Capri out of winter hibernation again. With the covers off, first impressions were that she looked amazing in the Spring sunlight. Unfortunately the battery was flat as my trickle charger had been accidentally switched off at some point. So first job was to leave the battery on full charge over night. With a full battery the Capri roared back into life after a few turns of the key. I even had a full tank of valuable cheaper petrol!
To my relief both the electric aerial and the heater blower worked faultlessly. These pair have been a constant niggle when storing the car for months in the past and both jobs are a major headache to do.
