Have replaced it with some more hose, and now looking for some more (better!) heat wrap... (was a real bitch to get to though!) - Will fix this, and then try to sort out another alternator...

Hopefully I'll be nipping up to God's either next weekend or the weekend after if all's well! (Must check with God first though... )

Fingers crossed I guess, but the battery that I put in last week's already lost all of it's charge, so that's ominous too - Probably got a short or something somewhere, but hopefully SG will sort it out along with the other problems! (Will try another battery of course first....)

Thanks to all of you for the advice and sugeestions - It's well appreciated!
