Got a new crank pulley on order, aswell as a dayco belt ..
To night I noticed that when I turned on the headlights there was a ...let's say whistle , kinda electrical type ...when I turned it down to sidelights , t stopped...h/ lights on whistle ..The alternator is just 2 months old

Very odd the radio occasionally looses the station but then finds the one it was on ...
Connected? ( pun intended or not !).

Was the alternator a rebuild or a new one and if so from where?

Temeraire (2018 quasar grey automatic)
R.E.D Retired Extremely Dangerous
Bellerophon (2024 grello van) daily dose of disappointment.

It was a new alternator but as it was my daughters local garage that did the job ...only charged her for the alternator not labour as it was just out of warranty ...so not a case of just making money!   
So basically there local parts supplier I guess ...they are in Princes Risbourgh ( near Wycombe) ....so whom ever people use there.
 Hoping to get this sorted in next few weeks so she can finally come home to visit her friends up here and go home in hers ....serviced cleaned and a new bill of health.

Got the new crank pulley and dayco belt, decided to ask local mechanic to fit it because having perused these pages it seems a pig of a job, Anyway he charged me £60 ...including taking rad off , cleaning the water pump pulley grooves on his bench ....and yep I wouldn't have got the old pulley off without an impact tool!
  The old pulley wasn't sepreated or seems damaged ...bugger ......then on a closer inspection their seemed to be a machined notches in the grooves ...very odd.... 

Then with a screw driver blade I found out it was old bits of rubber and grit  basically the grooves were about 1mm full the 'machined' notches the clear bits!..so maybe this could account for slippage .....we will see. 
Just the King pins and rear shocks to do while I've got it .....
