[Leica] OT: Bosch is Junk-what works well?

[h_arche at yahoo.com (H. Ball Arche)]

Just out of curiousity, what automotive electrics do people think have a 
generally  high rate of reliability?

My 91 toyota truck with 250K has behaved impeccably, but the '84 Nissan I 
had had wiring that was poorly fitted and vulnerable to corrosion, as I 
found out in the Kansas City airport long-term lot, in a snowstorm and 
trying to get home from being gone a week. The leads to the fuel pump (at 
the tank) had eaten away.
