	I had a German made Rabbit for five years which had an all-German
electrical system EXCEPT for a Lucas ignition coil, and American made 
Motorola Alternator, Gould Battery, and GE Headlamps.  What electrical system
parts do you think failed in that time???



Answer: the Motorola Alternator, the Gould Battery (couldn't last 2 years), 
and one of the GE Headlamps.
