It's finally let me down!
Done a search as I've seen this on a thread before, but can't locate it.
Battery light came on,and as I slowed it cut out. Pushed it into a parking space and 15 minutes later it started and off I went,albeit with battery light still on. Five miles on,Speedo goes mad ( showing 100mph when it was about 65mph) come to a junction and it dies again, never to start again. AA take three hours, but here's the good bit. I had no less than 13 cars stop to see if I needed help( I'll concede it's a small village and I knew 6 of the them), but what other marque would get that? Amongst these believe it or not was a Noble Techie who knows our Mr. Yellowshed, and also a guy apparently that works from a Noble office in Leeds???? ( Didn't know they had one). The only downside was the 3 pricks who shouted from a dustbinlidexhaust 500 quid piece of crap who strangely didn't turn round when I stod up and beckoned for them to turn around.
Never had so much fun parked ona roundabout!
By the way, anyone got ideas on the problem?

Was there a race track in the same county, Nobles have a habit of throwing a wobbly at the mere thought of a race track !Done a search as I've seen this on a thread before, but can't locate it.

Andy,
i suspect it is alternator, if it was a short in the electrics then after it cut out first time then it would not have restarted, maybe it was running on pure battery when you restarted it thats why it wold not start after second cut out because battery was drained..
At least it wasnt the exhaust that let you down...;)

When I read the title of this thread I fully expected you to say it was for sale! I have no idea what could be wrong but I'm pleased it wasn't the news I envisaged 
Never has breaking down been so entertaining eh???
LOL,I did think someone would think that with the title!First time in 7 years over 2 Nobs it's happened,can't complain.Another upside was a friend stpped in his Litchfield 570BHP GTR and took me for a blast.Very,very quick, way quicker than std!Never has breaking down been so entertaining eh???

Heat damaged loom from the alternator where it passes closest to the front exhaust downpipe area.
Ah, that's the thing I was thinking of when I mentioned a thread I couldn't find.Would poss explain the weird speedo as well?Cheers to you and RO162 for pointing me in (hopefully) the right direction.
