I was on a long run up the M5 yesterday and my basttery watning light came on, I thought that tempramental alternastor has packed up.
An hour later of motorway driving and I was home, popped tthe bonnet and the bel had snapped!
Does the same belt drive the water pump? if so I drove for asbout an hour at 60 mph, could this have caused any damage?
The temperature gauge wasnt showing it overheating - may this be because the pump wasnt circulating the coolant past the stat?
Obviously i need to replace the belt, but is there any probable damage hat m ay have been caused o the engine?
The alternator belt had stretched several times, requiring tightening up crappy belt?
Any advice/knowledge is much appreciated in advance guys!
