Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 Sorry to hear that matey! I think most of us have been there with the "never ending story" type problems. You know, do one thing, then find out something else has to be done first!!! I have had my fair share with the Capri recently, but hopefully tomorrow will finally be the end of my suspention probs! Happy days will be here soon mate, best of luck
