Just think of the fun you could have if it had electric brakes as well.

The power assist hydraulic pump was driven by a belt if I remember correctly. The belt slipping or breaking would also constitute a point of failure.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

Too much software & tulipe like that in cars these days.
Of course, when you do reconnect the battery, make sure that you have a spare key in your back pocket, as the thing is likely to wind its windows up and lock you out.
The kind Touring Club de Suisse taught me that trick when he brought me a new battery. In fact he refused to connect the thing until I showed him my spare key as well as the one in the ignition.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

Rather scary when you're in your 90s, with reactions not quite those of a fighter pilot, and the perishing thing cuts out on the motorway.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

On many cars the alternator belt as well as charging the battery drives the power assisted steering and the water pump. Get the belt changed (no more than £100 for a garage to do this or the AA should be able to do it).
I had one snap on me on the motorway once, first the electrical warning lights came on then the steering became heavy, then it died.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment
