If the engine is still running then it's your drive belt(s).

you should have a belt going to front of engine on outer side of your bottom pulley and the belt that comes up on the inner side of the pulley to the alternator.

belt that comes to under your manifold is the power steering, fiddly to replace but easy enough

All sorted noe thanks to the RAC!

I went to my normal parts supplyer and they gave me a massive belt...

Went to Vauxhall and they had to order me on in... went back to me car and battery was dead! Called RAC and they fitted a new P.A.S. and alternator belt! And just charged me £5 for the belts

I love you RAC!!!

2mins to fit

you lucky cnut... my GTE 16v is over 16years old, and I dont think the power steering pulley adjuster had ever been moved as it took about 2days to get the cnut off!!
