Shopping - Stuck in a traffic jam for 20 minutes waiting to cross M3 at J3!! Then off to Aldi in Bracknell (amongst other things bought a new double barrel foot pump at half price £6). Then to Longacres Garden Centre at Bagshot. Finally off to Woking via Chobham for some supplies and petrol at 129.9 per ltr from Morrisons.
Oh, I did pop the bonnet/hood before and after to see what the coolant level looked like after my recent 'problems' ..... all fine. However there might be a problem with the exhaust near the down pipe/cat as it's 'popping' a bit on over run!!
Anybody got an idea what ageing brushes on an alternator sound like? I seem to have a high whizzing/whirring noise in time with revs which doesn't seem to to be a bearing noise? The ammeter is a bit slow to get up to full charge on start up 10v and then up to 12 + volts.
Must also take off the drivers door card soon as I have to use the electric window button at times to make some of the intermittent speakers work!!
