Bigjeeze Posted October 9, 2012 Report Posted October 9, 2012 Sounds like the alternator belt has gone. It also drives power steering air con etc - but surprised that it won't start - Maybe it's been slipping allowing the battery to lose charge. Anyway the belt is your first port of call. Quote
chrispb123456 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Posted October 9, 2012 Hi and welcome to the forum Belt may indeed be broken but this may have been caused by a seized aircon pump and/or pulley Quote
