Ive heard that lots of SR's come over here to the states with failing alternators....have you tried push starting the car? All ya have to do to push start, is find a hill, have some friends give ya a push down the hill, have the car in first gear and in the on position....when you gain enough speed (10 MPH should do it), let out the clutch with the car in first. This should force the car to start (not too sure why, but it sure helps out on a freshly rebuilt rotary <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'>).
I could be totally wrong though...just something to try.
