Thanks everybody for your great insight.
From other posts about alt failure, I have inferred that most experienced that failure click upon initial ingnition. It seems that replacement of the alt cured all. Am I just exercising wishful thinking, or do I indeed, need to replace the starter. In the event I do need to replace the starter, do I need to observe the same OEM/Bosch specifications, or do generic remanufactured parts do the job? Thanks again, David
