diagnosis help please

Morning chaps, im a little bit stuck. Yesterday my disco was running really well did about 250 miles no probs. About 200yds from home the rev counter dropped to zero, then on my drive smoke billowed from the bonnet. I had to switch off with the key, now she will not start. When I try I she will not turn over. I have checked the battery and it is fully charged, there is an electrical burning smell from the alternator area, I am suspecting that the alternator may be stuffed, is there anything I may have overlooked, or anything else I need to check. Thanx in advance, im in lincolnshire

Sounds like ya batteries flat cos ur alternators knackered

The battery is fully charged

Check the battery leads to starter and body earths!!!

The rev counter is driven from the alternator. The alternator may have siezed solid, not allowing the engine to turn over (or possibly a main fuse has blow - just a wild guess). Take the alternator belt off and try and turn the engine over.

Spot on speedway, absolutely siezed solid, thatkyou chaps
