The alternator power cables are known for snapping (big red one bolted to the side of the alternator) and the alternators are notorious for giving up all together.

Your really going all out on this 182, this car will be nearly brand new almost 20 years after it was built. Brilliant 👍🏻

Yeah mines on 110k feels brand new 😊. I just feel in a few years if I want to get hold of a good example I'll be paying more than my current one owes me.
