[Mgs] Battery/Alternator question (Non-MG)

[Stephen West-Fisher]

If you had a real off-road vehicle such as a Land-Rover you could have just
pulled the crank from behind your seat and Bob's your uncle :-)

Two weeks ago, I took my 1974 Toyota Landcruiser for a test drive, the first
in over a month. During the cranking cycle, there was in the middle, a
slowing that I of course ignored although noting it was not normal. When I
reached my destination, the Landcruiser would not start or crank over, as if
the battery was dead. We attempted to jump start it but that also did not
work. Until I played with the cables some. The reason it would not start,
even with the jump, was because there was corrosion and bad connection
between the positive cable itself and battery terminal clamp.
