It's getting worse

Hi,

My not charging (slipping acc belt) is getting worse.

Twice today the not charging battery light came on under power steering load at low speed/revs.

I understand you have to take the top cover off, the right wheel off and the inner wheel arch to get some access to the belt.

It looks like one of the tensioners are either stuck or loose.

If we ever get another dry weekend I am going to have a look in case it is something like a loose tensioner before I call on someone who actually knows what they are doing to have a look.

If anyone has any tips for this please let me know.

I have so many jobs to do before the MOT next month I have no idea how I'm gonna get them all done!

Cheers
John
