What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

[blur911]

I changed the alternator in the Honda Pilot today.  It flashed once for a few seconds after hitting a puddle on the way down, sometime around dark in the middle of a holiday weekend, somewhere near Rimouski, then was good again for a week or so.
A few days ago it started flashing again and getting more frequent, it was on about half the time when I finally got organized.   I'm in NB and don't have all my tools, was looking for a local garage to do it, couldn't find one in a timely manner, so I did it myself.

Fairly easy, but a tight fit.  You have to drain and remove the power steering reservoir and coolant overflow to get access.  Had to do a bit of filing to get it to fit into place.
