It helps if you can speak a little Spanish but I am sure even if you couldn't you could still buy one without any major issues.

Turns out the battery was fine, but the "nut at the wheel" hadn't tightened the terminals as much as was needed. Silly bunt.<br />Sorted that out, and she fired right up. That was one time when we were underway, but I would sometimes have issues in the springtime after sitting all winter, but I remember one time it was the connection at the starter.
