Re: Hideous Yank
The Buick is still my only legal car, recent events have given me a massive dose of can't be arsed to buy something sensible.
It has misbehaved a bit. The alternator died, odd symptom of not going above idle. Luckily I live somewhere flat ish with sod all traffic. Made it home on at tickover (35MPH)
Rockauto to the rescue again with a recon alternator for 65 euros delivered within a week.
Fitting it took about 10 minuits 
Fitting replacement alternator warning light took about 2hrs
