Evening,
You may recall my recent post regarding coolant being balsted all over the place, and a constantly illuminated battery indicator. Well I left my engine running earlier, and opened up the bonnet, thinking that something didn't seem right. It took me a good 5 minutes to come to grips with what it was and then it clicked. My fan wasn't spinning. The fan belt had snapped, but held its self in place over the cogs as so to look like it was still as good as new.
I've cut up some of my mums old tights and it seems to be doing the trick for now. Picking a new belt up tomorrow.
As for the coolant being blasted out of the top up resevior, well that must have simply being down to the water boiling up and out of the system with the heat.
Ay dear!
