Funny and embarrasing at he same time but everytime I hit water puddles (big ones mind!!!) the battery lights comes on and I lose power steering and the engines needs about 20-30 seconds to come back to life. Its always when the water puddles are on the left hand side. Surely it cannot be that water hits the belts and they slips? Or is it? I checked all the electricals on the left hand side and nothing looks loose or uncovered. Anyone had the same problem? Its getting a bit embarrasing when you drive a Disco and people in front of you with Micras go full blast throught them rain puddles and I have to drive around to avoid the water. :confused:

Thats a point.....good exchuse to get a steering guard!!

I'm assuming 200's dont come with plastic covers under the engines/sump?
 
Thanks for all your great ideas. I've changed the belts not long ago so I might try the spray stuff. Then if that doesn't work I'lll look into putting some kind of plate under the arches. Or maybe I'll make the first ever belt hard cover!!! I'll keep you posted. Cheers
