Called out the RAC who were there in 20 mins. Symptoms were the car j ... |

Could be one for sale in Scotland. £40 for a used alternator, fitting and suspension sorted - I reckon you could get it all done for £500.
Scrap value say £1,000 and you’ve got a lovely car to ... |

Ah - potentially a simple fix if it’s just the pulley. Any local garage should be able to do that I’d have thought.

More details please !

My 11 yr old would love to get his sticky fingers on it.
