Mid sept had the battery light flashing on cold start, stayed on for a couple of minutes but then went off. Checked the voltage and all okay. Been checked a few times since then & all has been fine.
However big problem started, went out to get last night & under a bit of heavy load the light came on & stayed on, lights started to dim a bit.
Opened the bonnet this morning to check the voltage & I see the belt is off and the clutch pulley is off the alternator!! the alternator still has the thread on so I have no idea how the hell it has come off!
Bit worried now though as I may have ran the car without this for about 40-50mins and if the belt goes around the waterpump will that have caused any damage?
Is this a new alternator or just a new pulley, don't want the new one falling off too!
Also can I drive it or will I need to car share with the wife until I get it replaced?
