Hey brothers, hope all is well this fine weekend. Had a bit of a shitter morning here. Great day yesterday with the kids while wife was out at a concert; so I was rolling around in the family wagon all day no problems.
Today on start up, funny squeak from the auxiliary drive belt. Hmmm maybe the alternator clutch pulley needs some grease. Five mins later the PS goes off, computer tells me 'electrical systems failure - service required'. So I pull over, lift the hood and the auxiliary belt is off!!!
Hmmm start to investigate and the alternator has sheered clean off its bracket. Recovery truck home, now need a new alternator, probably a tensioner pully and new belt. Luckily it didn't pull the timing belt off with it or I'd of been totally buggered
