Landy has completely died |
|
About 1 minute after starting the car and driving, there was a burning smell and then the dashboard lit up like a christmas tree. My wife pulled over and turned the ignition off. She then went to start the car and everything was dead. Any ideas

Thanks guys
10 out of 10 you are right it was the alternator, the car is now in the garage. All covered under our AA gold warranty. I did phone the warranty company to check if it was covered and it is, they then told me to take the car to Halfords as it was only 3 miles away. I don't even take my sons push bike to halfords for a service or repairs!!!!!!!!
Thanks again
