Tonight the missus came in from driving my car and complained about a horrid noise from the engine and the battery warning light flashing. I have been out and had a look but can't see anything obvious - and no warning lights. Started the car and everything seems fine, then the noise starts. It is coming from the alternator and it is really loud.
How can I test the alternator to make sure it is working ok? The belt seems to be in good condition with no fraying or cracks.
Any other suggestions as to what it could be or how to fix it?
I had a search of the forum but couldn't find anything that matched up.
Any help would be great!
Thanks
