Trust me these things are heavy to steer without it. If the wife was driving it would have been a very different outcome!! Amazingly made it home and as i pulled into the garage the engine coughed just before i shut it down. Got it too the dealer on the 2nd of January they diagnosed it and ordered a new alternator. On the 14th they had still not even picked the alternator from a warehouse in Melbourne. Had rang another dealership parts department and told me there were 62 in stock and was about $300 cheaper than what was quoted by service department. The new alternator finally arrived on the 18th and now have the car back.
Do you have the phone number of these warehouse you have been calling?
