Sounds like my alternator is failing, at only 40,000km. It's making a loud whine and makes a burning smell, although it still seems to be charging the battery OK, 14.6 volts when running.
In a dark garage it almost looks like there is a light bulb in the windings.
My question is, how does the trick with the 70mm jubilee clamp work to stop the belt tensioner decompressing work?
Do you put it arond the coils of the tensioner spring or end to end? Anyone have as picture?
