Doesn't the steering go heavy when the belt snaps
 
Driving home tonight when the steering went very heavy and the battery warning light came on , guess what I'm doing first thing in the morning :duh:

Yes it does, and you don't have much time to get off the road as the water pump stops turning and the engine will 'nip up' quite quickly.

That's when a manual override for the FBH comes in handy. :xmas-smiley-008:

Luckily the water temp never went into the red , just as well I've got a short drive home I guess ?

Thanks for the very kind offer Brian but I've got a spare belt and a spanner that'll fit ( that's put the kiss of death on it ! ) luckily I'm off work from Tomorrow so no big rush , if it all goes pear shaped I'll give you a PM , thanks Jon :smiley:

It sure does get heavy, drove mine home 6 miles one night after the belt came off when i started the zt to drive home after a night out. Made it home fine luckily.

Yes it does, especialy when you're at a T junction , turning out to the main road .
