Nicaragua: Alternator Repair:

The alternator on my diesel Galloper has quit charging and I am looking for someone in the Ticuantepe area that can do electrical repairs. There are plenty of mechanics around but few have the knowledge to do electrical component rebuilds. I am sure it needs only a set of brushes or a diode and don't want to spend 350 on a new alternator when it is not necessary. Thanks for any helpful input. Steven

I brought my Costa Rican registered car up in January and renewed my permit for another 30 days in Managua in February.

Anyone know what this is or had any experience with them? Thanks Steven

Nicaragua: Rights for renters:

We are having an issue with our landlord over the rent and they have threatened to change the locks on Thursday and lock us out. This is our final month here. Our rental contract states that our deposit can be used toward unpaid rent, utilities or damages. We paid a portion of the rent and with the repairs we have made that they owe us for and the deposit we are paid in full for the month. But yet they are making these threats. The owner's are out of the country and desperate to sell the house.Their "realtor" is a shady lawyer who has been screwing them on the bills she is paying for them and has a bad attitude toward us since we arrived. She has had bad a experience renting to in the past and simply did not want to do the work required to have us in the house. Any suggestions on how to deal with this please let me know ASAP. Thanks
