I made it to the garage easily, the 3 warning lights were still very bright when I arrived, so I drove half way to work and all the way back with the belt snapped. I have been changing belts every 10 thou since my car started eating them but this one has only covered about 9 thou. What is strange though is that since the mechanic fitted the new belt, on the drive home there is a sort of a very quiet whistle from my engine as I accelerate. Its not a bad noise, its quite a nice noise, but it's not a noise I've ever heard my engine make in almost 10 years of ownership and I am wondering if it is the turbo starting to fail but why would it only start making this noise immediately after new fanbelt fitting? She's booked in on Tues and Weds for service, belts, cam belt, MOT, brake fluid change, exhaust bracket, all sorts! Plus an estimate for head gasket replacement. __________________ [IMG]Volvo2 by Strider'swoman, on Flickr[/IMG] Current '96 945 2.3 lpt - Aurigas, tailgate spoiler, sports grille, lpg fuelled Previous '88 764 TD, '92 945 TD, '88 745, '81 244 DL
