    I pay someone to manage those things and don't pay CGT by a knatts whatnot. Don't forget it was the conservatives that lowered the CGT thresholds 2 years in a row, IIRC labour just increased the tax rate on what is due if any. A benefit of having someone sort those details is I get a document with all the details laid out as in the tax return which makes it a fairly painless exercise to fill it in...

  • anamnesis21 February 2026

    Yep. 😕

  • Dave O'Neill 221 February 2026

    All I know is that the CGT allowance is virtually worthless these days.

  • anamnesis21 February 2026

    CGT.

    Does anyone here a good working knowledge of the CGT rules; in particular, the timing/order/application of capital losses against gains?

    I can and have looked at hmrc's cgt rules pages. But I'm still not clear.

    Any cgt whizzos here?

    No problem Colin, I decided not to go as I have actually found a 45 but it’s on a mini maniflow manifold that I don’t if it will fit yet as I have got the engine out. How was the show this year ?

    I put my relays in the cabin by the column for protection as the V8 was a daily driver used in all weathers including snow and salt.

    I interrupted the purple/black there and put the one from the horn push on one side of the relay winding and the one to the horns on one of the contacts. Then tapped into the purple for the other contact and picked up an earth for the other side of the wind...

    ‘The proof is in the pudding’ with roller release bearings. Next month (March) will be rhe tenth anniversary of my producing them in various forms.
    Roller release bearings do work on Sprites & Midgets

    When I started making them people would post John Twists video hanging on his every word like religious zealots: fortunately that trend died out.
    But some still hang ...

    "He's making Britain look unreliable and weak'"

    "Senior military figures tell Starmer he must let US use bases for Iran attack"

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15579471/military-figures-starmer-use-bases-Iran-attack.html

    So called 'international law' and 'the global rules based order', are rammed so far up Starmer's rear end, they come out of his mouth everytime...

    Have you got a link Glenn?

    Can you summarise what he says?

    Roller vs carbon, roller is way better, as long as it's the right design for our setup.


    If it's this one, "282 MG Tech MGA Roller Release Bearing", he says at the beginning that roller bearings don't and can't work on MGs.
