Taking my 90 year old dad to a hospital appointment this afternoon . And nasty smell a whining noise and when I stopped. Smoke from under the bonnet.
First time in 14 years the dizzle has had problem whilst on the move.
Alternator it seems . Managed to get dad to hospital via daughter's cmax, and went home 14 miles amidst lotsa of noise and smoke & red light only came on 2 miles from the house
Mgr stuff just don't last
only 16 yrs and 156 k miles . Bet any replacement won't get near that.
