She went out in it this morning, came back in saying her car was buggered, a number of lights illuminated when on, ign light on when off.

I followed her home and it was clear that the car was running off the battery, I could tell from the brightness of brake lights / indicators. I managed to make a hands free phone call to Miss Vamps, telling her to ask Mum to switch off any fans - message back, everything has gone off speedo and all gauges; It is my understanding that this now is a faulty alternator.

Oh how I prayed as we went through the long roadworks on the A1..........

Almost home, less than 3 miles to go, and all stop..... Everything loaded into my car. Shortly afterwards car recovered by my local independent, back to his place for repair. At least it is in safe hands now..........

That is what mine did when the alternator failed.

[Vamps]

So failed aux belt, resulting in a boiled engine... Or summat more sinister (ie electrical)

As said, I suspect the Alternator,seemingly coincidental to cooking, which was due to insufficient coolant in the car..............

So there is no engine overheating, just a duff report from the people in the car?

Yes, it did overheat, someone from a hotel in Harrowgate topped it up with water, even Miss Vamps could not unscrew the filler cap........Pure coincidence...........

Thanks Phil, we still enjoyed the weekend, just a slightly stressful drive home, waiting for it to break down, glad we got through the roadworks............

Every mile we got, I just kept thinking this will cost me less for a breakdown truck......

No, it's not a type R, so it's aNonda. See. Unimaginative group of letters one can't be bothered to move ones mouth correctly to pronounce.

Yes, maybe, but you are south of the river, are you not? and therefore Yorkshire, where as I am north of the river in Co Durham, we speak right proper here we do..........
