    '82 Rabbit ?

    I think the last time I drove one of those the seat would not go back far enough. If you are much over 6 feet it's a little cramped.

    Battery not charging emergency

    Your're going to need a little more than a volt or amp meter to test this. You need to put a draw on the alternator.
