My first problem in 6 months in my 03 1.9D Multispace (222K miles).This time its shredding its alternator belts.The belt slips one notch sideways off the steering pump pulley about a week prior to splitting the belt longways .
The garage says the problem is a worn steering pump,the pulley has a obvious end movement on it so the bearing is obviously nacked.The car is booked in on Monday to get sorted the estimate is £120 so not too bad.
BTW I've noticed the battery light goes out and appears to work normally when run without the belt fitted
cratch:
As someone who cut his driving teeth many years ago with motors still fitted with dynamos,I dont think I'll ever understand the modern car.:lol:
Anyway I'll let you know how things go next week.
