power steering is not the issue, it's no alternator, which means a tow.
personally, if it was so munted you'd need a tow, I'd just fix it myself, then go yell at the mechanic.
good point forgot about the ault...
although Ricks GT ran for around 4 days with a buggered ault... but yeah id just DIY
really? I went for a drive, not realising the alternator was not connected, and got less than half a km!
needed to call the AA, who charged the battery for 10 minutes, then told me to drive home without
the head lights as fast as possible. I got half way up my steep driveway, and had to charge the battery
a bit more
ha! makes you wonder why people are raving about electric cars...
