'great fun on the A71 with no power steering . My speed awareness is
crap, without a speedo, cars were queueing up behind me. Mind you didn't
want to go too fast with things stopping working .

First thing that showed on one of mine when the alternator failed - no
warning light came on - was the auto going into limp home mode and staying
in 3rd gear.

Since I was on my way to an important work thingie, the AA (after it
finally stopped) would only take it to an appointed garage since I wasn't
going with it. If I had, they'd have taken it and me home.

That ******* garage fitted a full price genuine makers new alternator and
a new battery too. The bill was enormous.
