Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
and there's also the Japanese JIS cross head screwdriversAnd a few others... ...but on a German alternator, any crosshead is likely to be the more common Pozi or slightly less common Philips
The Elring stuff is also listed as "Reference number OEM:90485251" on AutoDoc

Don't recall any issues, to the point I can't even remember what type of screws they are.
I'm sure I'm teaching you to suck eggs, but you know that Philips and Pozidrive are incompatible with each other...
What is the recommended equivalent gloop to use for cam cover gaskets as it seems the 90485251 isn't available anywhere I've looked. Noticed in the guide it's grey sealant being used.Sorry, but if you actually bothered looking, you would find that it is, in fact, readily available.

Try to get in habit of starting it properly (in park), and see if that improves things. Does sound like your range switch though.You on about the one that allows you out of park (check brake switch) or the one that prevents starting when in Park or Neutral?
If latter, is it better in one position (say park) than other? How are the LEDs by gearstick when it plays up?
I think it's prevents you starting in anything other than P & N but is sort of doing it in N mainly, probably ok in park, although I usually turn ignition on, unlock the park lock, then pull into N ready to slot into D before I fire it up, just a habit I've got into with autos. Lights are ok, just got to move lever back and forth a few baw hairs while in N and you hear the starter kick on and off then it catches and goes.
It was the brake lights switch that left me stuck in P when at the light unable to move
sounds like either the contacts are just a little dirty/ bad or the adjustment is just a tad off.
idealy and worthwhile just doing the inevitable removal and full clean up that they usually need eventually anyway.

Totally agree with DG,
My 3.2 has covered 245k ..178k in my ownership and still regularly covers 100+ miles most days for work.From memory has had coil packs twice/HBV also twice and gets coolant fully replaced every 2 years and is also still on original oil cooler and HG,s.
Still runs like a well kept watch too

Will dispatch to UK.
What are your usual channels? Googling that part number brings up several European suppliers that list it for under £20. And as you would expect for a part that's actually an external standard connector, GM weren't the only manufacturer to use it: LINK
