stumped with belt problem
took it out for a run again tonight.
got me to tamworth from derby fine. had charged batteries up full to ease the work for the alternator, however, even before setting off to get bsack, i noticed a drop in voltage. belts appeared ok.
got halfway home, noticed a big drop in power. lights dimmed, so did the dash. voltmeter showed it at less than 11v. stopped at services and needless to say - it gave up.
one of the belts had now gone, and the other one was badly worn and i could wipe the molten rubber off it!
question is - whys this continuously happening? i've re-adjusted the alt wheel so they all line up, it seems the van is drawing too much power than it can handle. grrrrrr!
