If its loose it will drain the battery hence it wotn run!! Only had the one 13mm, so it took a little cursing and knuckle scraping to get the bastid to sit right!! fcuk knows how mechanics do that all day, if thats an easy job I hate to think what the fiddly sh!t is like!! I did feel a small sense of acheivement when she fired up again though :D

	Nah there is a loose connection for half the dash. It dissapears, then re-appears as and when it feels like it. Will fix it one day! For now its sorted though, I hunted down a 13mm spanner and moved alternator back to tighten the fan belt belt. Then jump started her up first time :D

	doesnt the fan belt keep the battery running? if the fan belts gone and the battery is/was dying then surely that would explain the digi dash not operating properly??? Ditch u bitch

	Right, just had a chance to take a proper look. I already knew the belt was slack... but this is ridiculous!! Its looser than a drunk essex girl what do I need to adjust it? managed to locate a 13mm but tools are in short supply as im at work :mad:

	a snapped fan belt does make the engine management come on.........has the belt definitely snapped then??
Ditch	posted on 11th Jan 05 at 14:36
	The fan belt on my old GTE has been doing a little screeching recently (put down to wet weather) but I just came back from lunch and the little engine management light came on... my stereo made a nasty crackle and went off... and then as I got back to work it was coughing spluttering and generally running like a dog, so I let the revs drop....... and the engine cut out now it wont even turn over! So this is probably a stupid question, but I take it my battery just went dead...? Would this cause the engine management to make an appearance and the car to run like a pig? And will a set of jump leads save the day? Thankingyou please Rich
