What a work out!

Heading over to check in on my Grandfather before work when I lost power steering and the battery light came on!
I pulled in to cry and asses the situation when me old mucker and fellow forum member Austen pulled in thinking I'd spotted him and stopped for a news!! I explained that was not the case and when he stopped laughing we popped the bonnet and found the belt split length ways.
I then had to drive it a further half mile up the road to his Mums house to dump it.
My arms are in bits with trying to get that Fat Censored round the corners!! Ooooft!!

I was about to say a pulley is going to be a cause of it dying like that Sad

Power steering isn't too bad when it goes, just have to use the feeding tatic they taught you when learning to drive Very Happy and have arms like tree trunks lol FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
