Hi All, The other day I was driving home in my Ford Galaxy when all of a sudden I heard a strange noise coming from what I believed to be around the gear box. It sounded like metal on metal grinding. It stopped as quikcly as it started and then the car was not used again for a day or so. When taking the car out on its next drive it did not go 100meters and then conked out... Made a horrible noise in the process. Please see my two videos below to hear the noise and on the second video I believe the device with the red ring around (Air conditioning Compressor?) it is what is stopping and causing the engine to stall (please correct me if I am wrong). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boE3eMfUphg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpCsA5SSun0 Any help greatfully received. Many Thanks Nick,
