Things dropping off
Discussion
Well on the way home the battery light went on and the temp started rising.
Oh dear the fan belt I thought so pulled off the motorway and parked up under a street light.
Anyhow as it turned out the alternator bolts had undone and it was trying to escape!
Luckily the bolts were still there so it was just a matter of filching M8 nuts from elsewhere and tightening it up.
So - back home anyway, 20 minutes delay, and the old girl lives to burn another gallon of increasingly expensive petrol (it went up another 2p/l between this morning and this afternoon!)
